Lee has it right. The 25/06 is in a different class then the 243. It is really a light 270 class of rifle for more precision shots. I think of it as a weak 270 and not a beefed up 243.

I have 2 25/06's and now am thinking about a 257 Weatherby. The 25 caliber rounds are nice and accurate at long range and you might as well go all the way to the max.
