I am loading for a 25-06. I have some Sierra 117 grain and some Nosler in 100 and 115 grain. My question is that with the price of powder do any of you have a favorite proven powder for the 25-06 that will cover all three bullet weights? I see there are a couple that would work but I am unfamiliar with them. I am looking for a good proven powder that will flow through a Dillon measure without too many problems. Maybe I just have to think about buying two different powders however I hope not. Anyway thanks for any help. WS | ||

I use 100 gr TSX, 53 Gr IMR 4831, F210 Primer, and it shots great. I can not remember if I tried IMR4350, I do use that in my 30/06. | |||

The 25-06 has been my GO-TO rifle for Texas hunting since before it was commercially availible. I have found IMR-4350 to work very well in several rifles. 100gr-53gr of IMR-4350 115 to 120-49gr of IMR-4350 Free men should not be subjected to permits, paperwork and taxation in order to carry any firearm.

About the only powders that really flow through any powder measure without problems are ball powders. While I think H-4831 and Rl-22 are great powders for the 100 to 120 grain .25-06 loads the ball powder to use just might be Ramshot MAGNIM but since I can't access Hodgdon's data anymore I can't really comment on Winchester 780 or H-414 as they are also ball powders andf just might also be excellent powders for this need /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Re-22 is a fairly shrt-cut propellant that flows just fine -- not to mention accurately -- through any measure I have ever used it in. Bobby Μολὼν λαβέ The most important thing in life is not what we do but how and why we do it. - Nana Mouskouri | |||

IMR-4350 will provide acceptable, but not optimal, velocities in the .25-06. Besides, it flows through powder meters about like gravel. I like IMR-7828 SSC in my .25-06 (using mostly 115 bullets). It meters reasonably well through my Redding. | |||

I load 51.2grs of IMR-4350 with a 120gr bullet and get 3100fps ave. chronograph velocity with 3/4" groups out of a Weatherby Vanguard with a 24" barrel.The IMR-4350 gave me the tightest groups and highest velocities of all the powders I tried. | |||
