Why'd you get rid of a .25-06?

Purpose:
The TSX was introduced in 2003 and has become Barnes’ most popular hunting bullet. The TSX has gained worldwide recognition as one of the deadliest, most dependable bullets you can buy. Try these all-copper bullets and realize the added benefits of improved accuracy, reduced barrel fouling and increased velocity.

I shot the barrel out of it, but gander mountain was nice enough to give me decent cash. I don't reload, but a buddy did, and that's what I shot out of it. A 90 grain Barnes TSX was all I know, going 4000fps or some shit. It went from a tack driver that would drop deer like they'd been pole axed to shooting 5" groups at 50 yards. And I lost all the farms I had to hunt where I had longer shots, so just took the cash and bought about 8 boxes of .35.

What .35 cartridge? I going to get one. Whether it be a Whelen, Remington Mag, or Winchester.

Remington. I've had the Marlin 336 for about 15-16 years, and since getting rid of the .25, haven't hunted with anything else. I love that gun and that round.

Anything .35 is flat bad on game. If everyone hunted with one and kept the distance reasonable, that would be the all around cartridge for game in NA period.
