I have a bunch of 110 AccuBond 2nds so I put together a load for the Featherweight 25-06.
Using IMR 4350 powder.
1st group with 47.5 grains

Went back to the reloading bench and put three together with 48.5 grains.

Good enough for a deer load in the PNW.
 
Forty-eight point five grains does look pretty good. Yeah, I'd say it is good enough for the PNW.
 
Back in 2011 I was developing the 110 AB bullet for my .25-06 & tried IMR4350/H4350/Rel22 & Vit N160. For me the best result came from IMR4831, but here's a couple of pics with some info on the IMR4350. Personally while the results for hunting purposes using IMR4350 were reasonable, I didn't find the consistency I wanted to utilise for the longer range shots I'm using the bullet for.
For this reason alone I moved to IMR4831 where I did find benefit both in MV and group consistency.
Best of luck. ATB

I normally reach for 4831 when I load for this rifle so was pleasantly surprised when it shot these with the first attempts with 4350.

I use IMR4350 for Sierra 100gn Prohunter bullets in my .25-06 & thought it would work just fine with a load using the 110gn AB. It just turned out not quite the case & for the 110 bullet, IMR4831 worked better in my particular rifle.
A different rifle/barrel may require a slightly different solution, but you have a good start. Cheers. ET
