Overview of 25-06 Remington Ammo
25-06 Remington is a flat-shooting hunting cartridge made by necking the 30-06 Springfield case down to a .257-inch bullet. With 100gr bullets at over 3,200 fps, it is a favorite for deer, pronghorn, and coyotes in open country where shots run long.
It shares the 30-06 case length, so it runs in standard-length bolt actions. It is not interchangeable with 30-06 or other 25-caliber cartridges. For a heavier 30-06 family option, see our 30-06 Springfield ammo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 25-06 Remington good for deer?
Yes. 25-06 Remington is a proven deer and pronghorn cartridge with a flat trajectory and moderate recoil. A 100gr soft point is a common choice for deer-sized game. Choose a bullet suited to your game and follow your state's regulations.
Can I shoot 30-06 in a 25-06 rifle?
No. 25-06 uses a 30-06 case necked down to a .257-inch bullet, so the cartridges are not interchangeable. Only fire ammunition that matches the caliber marked on your barrel.
25-06 vs 243 Winchester: which is better?
25-06 fires heavier bullets faster and carries more energy, which helps on larger deer and at longer ranges. 243 Winchester has less recoil and works in short actions. Both are popular deer and varmint cartridges.
More About 25-06 Remington Ammo
The idea behind 25-06 goes back to 1912, when Charles Newton necked the 30-06 down to .25 caliber. Gunsmith A. O. Niedner built rifles for his own version around 1920, and the cartridge spent decades as a popular wildcat.
Remington standardized it as 25-06 Remington in 1969, and it quickly became a factory chambering in mainstream bolt-action rifles. Its speed, flat trajectory, and manageable recoil keep it popular with western deer and pronghorn hunters.
