25-06 Ammo For Sale
History of 25-06 Ammo
In 1969, Remington introduced the wildcat cartridge (.25-06) into the mainstream by chambering its Model 700 and Model 40X rifles in .25-06. Since then, many other manufacturers have also produced .25-06 rifles and ammunition for hunters.
.25-06 ammo enjoys the advantage of being a powerful cartridge yet only delivers moderate recoil. Therefore, the rifle can be lighter than other calibers with similar power. The .25-06 remains on the list of most popular U.S. hunting cartridges, and for good reason. With its versatility and portability, this caliber is an excellent addition to any hunter's collection.
