25-06 Reloading

[BPT0586]

4350 and 100s in the 25-06 go together like politicians and other peoples money. At least they do in mine. I also like 110 accubonds and 115 partitions with IMR 4831.

H4831SC and 100gr Accubonds in wife's deer rifle. Steven 200.

It's a $100 pawnshop special. They had it for a couple years and couldn't sell it. So I made a offer and walked out of there with plans for a build.
One my favorite rifles cause it's simple, cheap and shoots good.
Had her shooting 10" steel plates at 600 yards with 90gr SMKs off a tripod.

100gr Accubonds have been doing good for the past 4 years now.

My 700 Mountain rifle really likes 117gr Sierras with IMR 4831

I had the best results with 110-120 gr bullets and slow burning powders - RL22, Retumbo, RL26

I’ve got three different loads for my Tikka 22” barrel. The first two may be a bit surprising because they use a fast burning powder.

1. Sierra varminter 87 grain, IMR 3031 47.0 grains, group average 0.55”, velocity 3332 fps, extreme spread 18 fps.

2. Nosler ballistic tip 85 grains, IMR 3031 44.0 grains, velocity 3262 fps. Group 0.59”

3. Berger 115 grain VLD, H4350 51.0 grains, group 0.45”, velocity 3089 FPS.

@UPThunderbolt
What is your COAL for the Berger 115? I want to play with those next, but I know the VLD likes to be close to the lands, so was concerned with the tikka mag COAL restrictions.

Thanks
