Who shoots this caliber and how do you like it for short and long range on deer?

I have one and like it a lot. (M70FWT). It's a handy little rifle and very accurate, especially for its weight! Haven't taken a lot of deer with it yet, but I'm a 25/06 and 257AI nut, so I pretty well know how it will perform, which is to say very well! The only watch-out is that it hasn't set the world on fire commercially, so brass and or ammo supply could be a problem down the road. I have plenty of brass, so not an issue to me.
Gonna buy one?

I LOVE IT!
I have one in a Winchester Model 70 Ultimate Shadow Stainless, and have taken a few critters with it! I dont guess I have killed anything past the 150 yard mark with it, but from what I have seen it is a great little round!!!!
I actually had another Winchester 25 WSSM, but I sold it before I ever shot it because I fell in love with the stainless model so quickly!

I saw a guy at the Garland gun range blow his 25wssm into many peases luckaly it only broke his noise.
If your going to hand load for it dont try to make it shoot faster than its made to do thats what that dude was trying to do.

Well duh. That his own fault. Factory loads will kill a paper target just fine!
