Would appreciate any advice and/or suggestions.
Looking to load the 87 and 100g bullets.

regards

55 gr. IMR 4831

100 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips

Thank you.

Would that give about 3300fps?

I've been loading IMR 4831 in my 25-06. It shoots everything from 75 gr to 120 gr bullets well. I'm sure there are other powders that work well in this caliber but I have a lot of this stuff on hand and it works. When I first built this rifle, it wouldn't shoot decent groups until I started worked my loads up to maximum. The one exception being 120 gr speers. I had to drop this one a grain below max because of pressure signs. I'm using the 1982 vintage Horandy manual.

depending on barrel length.

RL22 is the way to go for 100 grain bullets, if you have at least a 22" barrel. In my 26" barrel the 100 gr bullet behind 58 gr (MAX LOAD) is going beyond 3450 fps with excellent accuracy.

Reloader 19 works well with 85 grain pills.

Appreciate all the data, just have to figure out how to get some powder over here!

RL19 shoots very well im my 26" Sendero with 85 grain Ballistic tips.I like 4831 for anything heavier than 87 grains.

I have experimented with the 25-06 a good deal and have finally settled on two powders to cover all bullet weights.

If I am loading 75 to 100 grain bullets I use IMR 4831. If I am loading anything heavier (115, 117, 120) I use IMR 7828.

My favorite loads for the 25-06 consist of 54 grains of IMR 4831 behind a 100 grain Nosler Partition for use on deer, antelope, hogs, etc.
The same load behind a 100 grain Sierra spitzer makes for a good inexpensive long range varmint load and sure drops coyotes in their tracks.

Thanks once again.

I use IMR 4831 under 115 Nosler Ballistic Tips. In fact I just picked up a pound of it yesterday. I consistently get .5 MOA out of my Sako 25-06 using this combination with CCI primers and Winchester brass.

Now- just to put the cat among the 4831 pidgeons....

try 60g Sierra with 48g vihtavouri N140.

just shot a .270 group at over 3800fps.

Bye Bye varmints

PS - not many 25 cal projectiles will stand this load - and dont try it with boat -tail bullets!

oops ---- should read 80 grain Sierra

Can shoot - can't type
