We shot a 25-06 for years on a variety of game. Nice bull elk, mule deer, whitetail, antelope, mountain goat. Combined technologies 115 grain killed them all nicely.

Son just used a suppressed 6.5x47(6.5 creedmoor twin) suppressed with 18" barrel on nice mountain mule deer at 300 yards. 140 vld doing 2,550 at the muzzle. Same load and gun on a bull elk at 400 yards a few years earlier. Big black bear at 400 yards as well.

I didn't read the whole thread, but I'd chop your current stuff and buy a good quality suppressor.
