I have an 8 pound jug of powder called :Surplus Powder for 30-06 M2 Ball Ammunition,
It says that it is a military surplus powder ideal for 06 ,270 and 300,& 7MM's.
I have used it befor but in a move I lost the loading data that I had for my 25-06 .
Anyone have any idea on how much to use in a 25-06 or what is the equivelant modern powder to this stuff so I can have a place to start.
THANKS

I bought 8lbs of "M-2 Ball Powder" from River Valley Ordinance 10-12 years ago, still got a couple pounds left.
The data that came with it shows this for the 25-06:

75gr SP 58.5gr
100gr SP 54.1gr
117gr SP 51.9gr

I'm guessing but I think it's close to BLC-2.

I bought the same stuff around the same time. Basically you use BLC2 data minus 10% as your start loads. Adjust as pressure signs permit.
