A fine choice for goats! The quarter-bore is about perfect for them. Nice shooting with an old school rifle!

It won't be old school for much longer. Have a 27" McGowen coming that'll be chambered up in .25-06 AI bedded into a McMillan gamescout stock, PTG detach mag bottom metal, and hopefully I can talk Dave Kiff into making me a one piece bolt body with a tactical bolt know and fluting.
 
Nice shooting indeed! I'm not sure the "AI" will be worth the cost of dies and fireforming for a 25/06, but then again I never took any animal at that range.

I don't mind dialing up, but my 6.5-284 or the .300 SAUM aren't quite ready for hunting season yet. ;)
 
Nice! love the .25-06.Glad to hear that the Berger worked at that distance.
Been thinking about a .25-284 just for fun,wish more people made long range bullets for the .25 caliber.I think it fills a niche.

It more or less is a niche in itself. Do I need a .25-06 AI? No, but do I want one? Yes. It will just be used to punch holes through deer and antelope out a ways, just something fun and different.
