What load do you use with a 25'06
and 110 AccuBonds? My load book shows the most accurate loads to be in the lower case fill level. This is my 1st try with accubonds all I've used for 20 years is 120 partations or sierra HPTs with 49.0 gr of IMR 4350.

Tom,

My experience has been quite the opposite; other than the Barnes 80 grain TTSX with AA-4350 which ended up in my barrel as a complete overload IAW manuals. Way-y-y off the scale. Anything I've tried with air remaining in the case has been an accuracy Dud so far in the 25-05 Remington ...... So is life.

My best efforts with all bullet weights above 90 grains (Hornady GMX which is a long-g-g for weight .257" bullet), 100 + 110 grainers (virtually any bullet) and the heavies 115, 117 & 120's have all been with H-4831 (not H-4831sc); and my perception has been load density was the ticket in my barrel (R93 Blaser barrel).

Good Luck with your 110 gr. Accubonds; IIWM I'd try something that burned a tad slower than the 4350's with this bullet.


Cheers,

Number 10

Depends on what you are hunting, how long the shot and how long is your barrel. Based on Ty's advice from Barnes, I was finally able to take my 1885 Browning Wyoming Centennial after Goats this year, in spite of its weird 1 in 13 twist. With the 80 gr TTSX in its 30" barrel I was able to get 3997 fps with "drop out extraction", using Hornady SP or Hybrid 100 V (both Hodgdon). Took my Lope at 230 yards 1/4ing away at a trot. In behind last rib on left, out right shouder. Fell on his face and kicked once. Barnes claims 3450 with this bullet in a 24" bbl w/100V.
Super bullets and super powders have moved the 25-06 up a notch.

My Sako shoots well with 55 gr. of IMR-7828SSC and a Nosler 115 gr. Ballistic Tip for 3125 fps. I have also used it in a friend's .25-06 with good result. I would think that the 110 Nosler Accubond would behave similarly. As always, rifles vary in the way they digest powder, so approach this load from below with caution.

IMR 4831 and RL25 have worked excellent for me over the chrono and for accuracy.

Yeah I remember the good old days when the 25-06 was still a wildcat and we had long 28-30", heavy Dougls barreled Mausers and P-17s wearing big long Unertls to slay woodchucks and feral cats away across the meadows of upstate NY. LC NM cases necked down, fill the case with 50 cent a pound surplus 4831, card it off and seat an 87 gr Sierra spitzer soft point. Velocity was 3500 or so and killing was a one shot affair.
Today thinks have changed with the advent of Hornady Super Performance Powder and Hybrid 100 V. When I asked Ty how the heck could I push an 80 gr TTSX in a low extraction power 30" bbled high wall to 3997 fps, he said look at the bullet. No friction, slow twist and very advanced powders.
I'd bet in a 34" barrel on a strong extracting bolt gun, 4000-4100 or more would be possible.
IMHO that 80 gr TTSX would kill any medium game DOA and even a Moose or Elk for a hunter willing to wait for a clean broadside shot.
Gotta love progress !

With 110 accubonds and H 4831sc near max loads. Very accurate and deadly on deer.

H4831sc, IMR 4350 and RL-22 all work well for me. I've tried the 100gr bullet's and didn't care for them. I use the 117gr Hornady for everything in it now.

My success has been with 4831 (either brand) and long or short cut. I've use 100gr bullets for antelope and 110 and 115 for deer, and caribou in Quebec.
