History Of .25-06 Ammo:

His Newton cartridges, including the .22 Savage and .250-3000 Savage, earned him acclaim in the early 1900s as a designer of ammunition. In addition to holding patents for numerous projectiles, he also designed many firearm assemblies, including trigger groups.

In his time, Newton invented a lot of ammunition and firearm mechanisms, and he is best known for the .25-06 cartridge. The case he based it on was necked down to accept a bullet with a diameter of 0.257 inches, derived from a .30-06 case. As a result, the cartridge was remarkably versatile, closer than any other cartridge to being a “one gun for all occasions.”

As early as 1969, Remington was one of the first manufacturers of .25-06 rifles and ammunition, with their Model 700 and Model 40X rifles chambered in .25-06. Many other manufacturers have followed suit since then.

By chambering their Model 700 and Model 40X rifles in .25-06 in 1969, Remington made the wildcat cartridge mainstream. Other manufacturers have since weighed between 87 and 130 grains, and various manufacturers today sell no less than 17 different loads. Shooters can pursue a wide variety of games with these loads, including animals as diverse as prairie dogs and elk.

With the .25-06 rifle, 100-grain soft point bullets are launched at 3,230 feet per second out of the muzzle of the rifle. With muzzle energy exceeding 2,300 foot-pounds, bullets can weigh between 87 grains and 130 grains, and 17 different loads are available today. With these loads, shooters can hunt prairie dogs and elk as well as a wide variety of games.

For good reason, US hunters continue to use the .25-06 on a regular basis as it is a versatile, portable caliber.
