25-06 115gr Bosler BT

Possum223 · Jan 8, 2022

Gday All,
Just wondering if anyone out there would have any load data for 115gr Nosler Ballistic Tips in the 25-06, with ADI powder?
I have a little bit of RL-22 but it’s way easier to get the ADI stuff where I’m from I just can’t seem to find any data for 115s and ADI powder.
Cheers

Don't know which ADI powders in particular you might want, but here's a few.

Cartridge : .25-06 Rem.
Bullet : .257, 115, Nosler BalTip 25115
Useable Case Capaci: 60.107 grain H2O = 3.903 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.250 inch = 82.55 mm
Barrel Length : 22.0 inch = 558.8 mm
Powder : ADI AR 2213

Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 1.0% of nominal charge.

Thanks a lot DrMike, just wondering where abouts you found this? I haven’t been able to find much at all with this particular slug and these powders. This helps tho, thanks very much mate.

DrMike · Jan 8, 2022

These are QuickLoad projections. You can find the QL program at https://www.neconos.com/ for the USA and Canada. Don't know about availability to the Pacific region. This is an excellent program for anyone who does much reloading with a variety of cartridges.

Possum223 · Jan 8, 2022

Thanks anyway mate, I’ll table up the info you sent me, from a few reviews I’ve heard or read it looks like the RL22 is a good place to start. There’s a fair bit of data about on 117gr bullets, might just use this for a bit of a guide to start with for the 115s.
Cheers DrMike, have a good day mate
