The .25-06
Remington is a popular rifle cartridge that was introduced to the market in
1969 by Remington Arms. It is based on the .30-06 Springfield case, necked down
to accept a .257-inch diameter bullet. The .25-06 is considered a versatile
cartridge that is suitable for a variety of hunting applications, including
varmints, predators, and medium-sized game such as deer and antelope.
The .25-06
Remington typically fires a bullet weighing between 85 and 120 grains, with
muzzle velocities ranging from around 3,000 to 3,400 feet per second depending
on the bullet weight and powder charge. The high velocity and flat trajectory
of the .25-06 make it an effective cartridge for long-range shooting, while the
relatively light recoil makes it more comfortable to shoot than larger
calibers. The .25-06 has become increasingly popular in recent years,
particularly among hunters who appreciate its combination of power and
accuracy.
