25-06 Reloading

[therealthor1]

For the folks who reload for a 25-06, I'm curious what "recipes" you've had good success with. I have some decent loads worked up with H4831SC and 90 gr Sierra HPBT and 100 gr Nosler BT's. Accuracy is good (~1 MOA), velocity is OK (3200 and 3065 fps, respectively). Seems like I should be able to squeeze some more speed out of it--its a 25-06 after all. Rifle is a Browning X-Bolt. Thanks.

I don’t remember what powder I used, but I hit 3450 with a 100gr nbt. I don’t remember if it was imr4955, h4831, or a Reloder powder.

I’ve had good accuracy with IMR4350. RL22 also if you can find it.

For lighter loads, I'd try 4350.

I usually use 4831, but I've also tried RL25 with heavier bullets.

IMR 4831 is my powder of choice behind 115 bergers

When I had one I had a lot of success with RL-22 @ 55grains and 100grn ttsx. Small groups and dead right there.

IMR 4350 and 110 Accubonds.

For lighter loads my two both liked h4350 and also imr4640. I think it really does better with 115 BT over Retumbo .

H1000 with 115 Bergers works wonders in my sons Vanguard.

What I've used and have worked well for me: IMR7828ssc and 115 BTs. Retumbo and 115 Bergers. IMR4955 and 100 TSX/ 101 TTSX.

IMR4831 to Retumbo burn rate range all will work well.

The 25-06 is quite overbore and thus likes slower powders.
