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.
CAUTION: Figures exceed maximum and minimum recommended loads !

Hope that helps.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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
 
I think Mike might have shown you the ADI versions of Retumbo and H1000. If that is the case, those two powders work excellent in the 25-06.
