25.06 as a deer/varmint/predator round

RE: 25.06 as a deer/varmint/predator round
Thanks for all the comments guys. It seems like it's unanimous that the 25.06 is a great deer/varmint caliber, but how readily available is the ammo for someone who doesn't reload. Will I be better off going with the lighter .243 that is more common.

I guess if a guy wanted to carry a 7MM Mag along he could but the 25-06 is just as capable of a 400-500 yard hit as any 7MM. Recoil with the 25-06 could cause some wear and tear after a few hundred rounds. As does the 243 unless its in a very heavy gun. A guy I know shoots a lot of dogs with a 243 but the gun weighs 34 lbs.
