Step back a moment from this narrow question and think about it. The 250 Sav. and the 6 mm's are not the only cartridges. Where I hunt the most the bear season is open for ten weeks and the woodchucks are gone. I am not comfortable with either a 6mm or a 250 Sav. for deer let alone black bear. So I would select a larger cartridge and be done with it. If the selection is limited to those two in the orginal question then what's your bear and moose rifle? I would just hunt deer with my bear and moose rifle and have a rifle for varmints. Heck I can hunt varmints with a .22 LR. What's the real limitation anyway? Is it money? There is no law that I can have only one centerfire rifle? If down to only one rifle I suppose I would keep a .308 Win. It's still a US military cartridge and would shoot varmints and everything else I could afford to get to with it until I got another rifle. Join the NRA | |||

If the original question had been "what would you choose for a cartridge if you could only have one rifle?" I would have answered 300Win mag. I can load this baby to hunt anything in NA. Why settle for a 25 caliber? Real guns start at 30.

Flippy, you claimed that a .25-06 would do anything a .250-3000 will do and do it better. I gave you a short list of things that a 25-06 won't do. Not my problem if you don't think they aren't important. The .25-06 won't do them. Now, I like the .25-06 as well as the next guy. Have three and a .257 Improved at the moment and several others in the past. However, when I go into the woods, it's Savage 99A in .250-3000 that goes with me. It'll do anything I'm gonna do. Once you have enough, there ain't no "better". When I go walking around looking for ground hogs, it goes with me, too. My part of the country don't offer a lot of long range shots other than a couple of weeks after hay cutting. Goes with me squirrel hunting, too. That's where those cast bullets come in. Couple of weeks shooting squirrels with your deer rifle makes a difference when big game season opens. Your barrel life argument is plain silly. I ain't trying to match .25-06 and could not get that much powder in the case. 30 grains of powder is gonna be a lot less wear on a barrel than 50 grains anyway you look at it. It is a good citizen's duty to love the country and hate the gubmint. | |||
