25.06 load recipes

[Prairiekid]

Having a little more time on my hands I was thinking about loading up some rounds for the summer/fall. It's been quite a long time since I have utilized my reloading press, but with my wife getting into hunting I would like to start to load a few more rounds for practice. The last four years I have been using factory loaded Barnes 100gr TTSX BT with great accuracy and in the field performance.

My reloading manuals are mostly older than I am, I was thinking of trying to find some online resources. Where do you guys go for current load data? Nosler looks like a decent resource. Does ground shipping take a while for reloading products?

Cheers,

Just google the powder manufacturers, and you’ll easily navigate into some data resources.
Hodgdon, IMR, and Winchester, are all under the same site.

My favourites are IMR 4831, 7828, RL22.

IMR 4350 for me

As with Dick R22 and IMR 4831 have worked with several bullets in a couple different rifles

Barnes may have data online.

Ive take a few deer with imr 4350 and 110gr accubonds.

Curious Dick, do you see difference between using IMR 4831 and RL 22?
I have loaded IMR 4831 and Hodgdon 4831 in my wife's 2506 for years but have never experimented with RL 22.

Reloader 26 and VV N560 work really with 25-06. I’ve also had a lot of success with Berger 115vldh & swift scirocco 2 mixed with some h4813sc. I was able to also get 1000 Speer 100gr bt on the cheep 20$/100 rounds and they also shoot really well. The only thing my rifle didn’t like was the nosler partitions untill I tried ramshot powder.

I’ve been using quick load and various other online sites for data. A lot of the manufactures will email you some data if you ask the directly Berger was great to talk to and they gave me a pile of load data and reading material on how to load there bullets.

Wondering if you saw much a difference between IMR 4831 and Hodgdon 4831. They seem to be the most popular two powders listed from what I've read? I'm just getting into reloading right now and my 25-06 is top priority!

I’m using IMR 4350 with 100gr Sierra GK.
I just started using R22 that I had left over from 6.5 Swede. I found it quite accurate with Speer 100gr sp.
Still trying to see what my Barnes TSX will like.

I get similar results with IMR compared to Hodgdon 4831. I really can not say I have determined one works better than the other in my particular rifle.
I do like the Hodgdon Short Cut simply because it drops a little easier out of the powder measure. Then again I way each load anyway. I am sure you know from your data charts that IMR and Hodgdon are not the same and have different Minimum and Maximum load values.

Thanks Ranger! I’m not sure what I’ll try first. I’m still setting up a bench to do all of this! I was interested in trying the Hodgkin short cut for the same reasons you mentioned. Thanks for the info!

I have found that before this virus most of the shipping happened within a reasonable amount of time from most places, everything is taking much longer now. I use the nosler information mostly because I use partitions or accubonds. Nosler is pretty good with posting their info on line, others are not. Good luck, cheers
