Has anyone worked up a load for the 115 gr. VLDH using the new Enduron powder in .25-06? I contacted Berger directly and as of yet they have not tested IMR 7977. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have always used Hornady dies for my 9mm. I also bought the Hornady 9mm taper die as well to properly crimp the case and get the proper headspace. Since then and that was at least 20 years ago, I purchased the Lee Factory Crimp taper die for this cartridge and have been favorably impressed...

What have you tried 4451 on? I have a chance to buy some and would appreciate your input. I'm still searching for 4955 for the same reason you mentioned, burn rate. It looks very versatile especially for my .25-06.

+1!

Oops! .30-06. :oops:

I've always had the best results with IMR 4350. You ay give that powder a try.

I am using the 180 gr. Accubonds in my Remington 700 .30-06 and am having success at 0.125" off the lands backed up by 61.5 grs. of RL 22. Groups are consistently sub moa at 100 yds.

Thanks for the COAL info. I just picked up some 110's and am looking for a good starting point with my load development. I'll probably give Retumbo a look too.

The IMR/Hodgdon reloading site shows 58 grs. of IMR 7977 compressed with the 117 gr. Hornady SPBT. However, they do not give a percentage.

How far off the lands were the bullets seated?

Another vote for Imperial Sizing Wax (and it never goes bad).

Hey Dale, I just noticed where you hail from. I too have a .30-06 that I bought in 1971 that remains my favorite. Get this, I purchased the rifle at "Buky's Village", 475 "A" Street, Idaho Falls Idaho! Small world :mrgreen:

Well Everyone, to me it's been a profoundly good year. I joined this forum not long ago and to say that it has been a great wealth of information would absolutely be a gross understatement! Thanks to the input from the "old timers" and everyone else I have upgraded my reloading capabilities...

Thanks all for the input AND the great pics!

I ordered a box of these for my Browning A-Bolt Stainless Steel Stalker II in .25-06 (22" bbl.). I was wondering if anyone had any tips on loading them or can pass along any performance information, both on the range and in the field. I have a pretty good selection of powders available: IMR...

Graf has 115 gr. .257 dia.Partitions available. http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/pro ... ctId/11714

Grabbed some at Midway today. FOTIS beat me to the "heads up!"

Not yet. We have regular rifle season opening on November 30 for two weeks. I did see four bucks in the early doe season though. I guess I'll just stick to my spot!

Caught this big male eastern coyote sneaking through a soy bean field during Senior (Old Fart) doe season in PA.
