I have been looking to buy a bolt action rifle. Its probably going to be a Savage. Now as far as caliber, its between the .243 Winchester and the .25-06 Remington.
I was doing some ballistic research through the internet. I see that both calibers can launch a 100 grain bullet at around 3000 feet per second. The .25-06 bullet is slightly larger in diameter. The .243's bullet has a higher sectional density. Assuming both projectiles are of similar construction, which one would perform better on pronghorn size game?
