I like my 243. It is a great gun for deer and 'lopers. It does a good job on coyotes and other small critters.
A close friend has had a 25-06 as his only rifle for over 30 years. He shoots his Elk most years, an occasional bear and gets a deer or two annually also. IIRC, he does not use premium bullets, just 117 gr spitzers.
