EagleEye Report post Posted August 10, 2008 Hi guys here is the thing I have a 25-06 I shoot pretty good but with the no lead rule I have 100 gr vital shoks are they big enough My other gun is a 338 with 225 gr vital shoks little on the big side I only have this gun for AK and breaking bones in bears so do I go light heavy or borrow a rifle? Thanks just over thinking this hunt already. Oh ya any hunt the Kaibab in a bad weather year and take a lever action for days with little visibility I did this in oregon often when you could not use a scope if you wanted.

DesertBull Report post Posted August 10, 2008 I don't believe there is a no lead rule on the Kaibab. They just "encourage" you to use non-lead ammo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted August 10, 2008 You need something right in the middle, 270wsm, 7mag, 30-06... Sounds like an excuse to go buy another gun to me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjmhunter Report post Posted August 11, 2008 You could go with another gun but the 25-06 would do just fine. If you don't want to spend the money go with the what ever of the two guns you shoot the best.>>> Manny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stray Horse Report post Posted August 12, 2008 I'd use the .25-06 with no problem. Well I'd even use it on elk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
