Yes and NO !!!.
Yes, the shell will fit in a rifle. DO NOT DO THIS !!!!
IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS,I say again DO NOT DO THIS !
It could cause the barrel to blow up, among other things. Stuff that could SEVERLY hurt or even KILL YOU ! So I say again. DO NOT DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!

I was curious when I was your age too. Best to ask rather than just try it. The brass is the same size for both rounds so 25-06 cases will fit in the chamber of the 30-06. DON'T TRY IT but if you were to fire the round it would typically push the .25 caliber bullet down the .30 caliber bore at a much reduced velocity and blow the neck of the 25-06 brass out to the size of the 30-06 chamber. However, because of the significant mismatch in the bullet diameters, terribly bad things could happent causing the barrel to blow up and perhaps kill the shooter. These rifles have way to much chamber pressure to experiment... you have to treat them with caution so although such things are occassionally possible, it is not wise to experiment.
