I think 4350 is a bit fast for the overbore .25-06. You might want to try 4831 (H or IMR), RL22 or VV160/165. the VV line of powders are very uniform.

dsmit, if your 25-06 averages 1/2 in. at 200 yards you have one of the best shooting guns in the country.

Powder: 52.5 grains of Hodgdon H-4831
Primer: Winchester Large Rifle
Case: Remington
Firearm: Ruger 77R
Optics: Leupold 4.5x14
Velocity: 2922 FPS @ 15' from muzzle
(Both powders perform identical)

There are a couple good loads mentioned here . Of course you'll have to wade through it to pick them out.

Did you try a search? Nate
