Caliber Dictionary

The 25-06 Remington, introduced in 1969, is another Remington cartridge that had a long history as a wildcat cartridge. Based on the 30-06 case necked down to accept a .257-inch bullet, it is credited to A.O. Neidner in 1920, and Remington retained Neidner's original design. Remington's standardization of this long-popular wildcat was met with open arms; the 25-06 has become the most popular 25-caliber cartridge, fast and accurate with a fine selection of loads. Velocities range from a light 85-grain varmint load at 3550 feet per second to a 120-grain load at 2990. With heavier bullets the 25-06 is used for game up to elk, but it is perhaps at its best for pronghorn and deer-sized game in open country, where its flat trajectory shines. Most major ammunition manufacturers offer a selection of 25-06 loads and rifles are available from numerous manufacturers. — Craig Boddington
