Here's probably my favorite long distance shooting gun..

It's a Ruger Number one that I bought many years ago. It is in 25-05 caliber. Extremely flat shooting rifle.

25-06 is catching on around these parts as a pretty effective deer gun

25-06 is a very adaptable round. It can be used on everything from moose to whitetail with no problem. Even make a ground hog explode if you wanted to.

I'd like to try my 300 for some distance shooting. So far I've only tested it out to 400 yards.

That's a nice looking rifle you got there. I've always loved the sleek look of the Ruger No. 1's, just couldn't bring myself to drop that much $ on one.

As I said in another thread that is one sweat rifle and the 25-06 is used around here alot by deer hunters !!

That is pretty sweet. Is the ammo tuff to get?

25-06 seems to be pretty availible around here even.

.25-06 is a great caliber. I thought it was crappy... until I actually fired one.

I just noticed this question, so I'll answer it now. No, it's not hard to find. But I've got tons of 30-06 cases, and I neck them down to 25-06 and load my own.
