I think the 115 to 120 grn bullets would be fine out to 300 yards. After that you may have issues with retained energy. If you are comfortable with your 25-06 then know the limits of the bullet and load and wait on the appropriate shot. If you have to consistently take shots over 300 yards I would think a bigger caliber(7mm, 30 caliber something) would be more in line.

I have taken wild boar (feral pigs) here in Texas out to 250 yards with a 257 Roberts, 100 grn Sierra Gameking BT and dropped them in their tracks. Some say that wild pigs can be hard to kill, but they dropped right there.
