Well, here it is, I've been to the range & the detail from the IMR4831 load is not great.
I've got the accuracy, but not the pace.
Chrono speeds were 3003fps to 3039fps. The average is 3025fps & the ES 36fps.
Muzzle energy would be 2235ft lbs & that doesn't equal what the 100gn Sierra is @ 2418 ft lbs.
Disappointingly slow really, so I'm wondering how far I may be able to go with the charge.
The top & bottom is I need more coal on the fire !
Cheers, ET

Elmer, that is pretty slow on the 110 gr BT's. I get a chronographed (at 15 feet) 3060 fps in my .257 Roberts with the 110 BT Nosler factory load.

I agree OT3, yes it is slow. The chrono was set approx. 15ft from the muzzle and it's fair to say I was disappointed. Cheers, ET

I've just loaded up some RL-22 and IMR-4350 under the 110gr AB. I will be at the range at some point this week and I'll share velocity results. I also have some RL-19 and H-4831 recipes in the works with the same bullet. Wish I could find Retumbo or IMR-7828 around me. H100V also.

For interest CSC, the best performing load I have found for my rifle .25-06Rem. with the 110gn AB is:
Remington cases trimmed 2.484" Neck sized.
Fed.210 Match Primers
IMR4350 x 50.5gns
The cartridge OAL is: 3.400" and the seating depth using a comparator shows 2.875"
This comparator measurement shows my bullet .040" from the lands in my rifle.
This gave a MV of 3120fps avg. ES was 29fps and produced .8" groups at 100yds. I think it would do better, but the shooting is down to me!!
The next best was using 51gns IMR4831 but the MV was only 3025fps avg. ES 36fps.
I tried Rel.22 (55.5gns) and Vit.N160 (52gns) and found both also to be quite slow, but haven't tried any other propellants you mention.
