i love my 25-06

[elkslayer308]

I was reloading some test rounds the other day, and i topped a case of 49.0 grs of imr-4350 with a 110 AccuBond and went to the range. I also took along my 300 win mag and 180-ABs over 69.0 grs of imr-4350. I got .875" for five shots with the 25-06 at 100 yds, even though i only had a 4X Leupold on top! My 300 which sports a 4X12 Leupold also shot .895" at 100 yds. Great accuracy, i hope that the next Nosler book includes these "old powder" loads! Give em a try if you are interested.

Good shooting!
IMR4350 is a great powder.
I use it in my 257 Roberts with 100 gr BT and it shoots in the .5's.
I have also had great results with IMR4350 in 243 Win, 280 Rem,
and 30-06.

Agree - the .25-06 is a sweet shooting cartridge. Mild recoil, great accuracy and velocity potential.

I too am using the 110 AB and IMR 4350..... but I'm throwing 53grs.... 3120fps from a 24" tube

I love it!!!

I had excellent results with imr 4831 and 120 grain speer. Gotta love the 25 06.

Makes me almost wish I had bought one of three Senderos in 25/06 I saw today at the gunshow.

I like IMR4350 in my .25-06 and several other powders as well, like IMR4831 and Rel-19. It performs well with the Nosler Bal. Tips in all weights. Best wishes.

I have had great luck with all sorts of powders out of the cartridge. IMR-4350, h4831, RL19 and 22, imr 7828 and h1000 have all worked excellent for me. 25-06 is not a picky cartridge, pick a good powder and bullet and it wont be long before your shooting tiny groups. I love my 25-06, I would never sell it, especially since its a winchester classic!! Might be a collectors item one day.

Muzzleblast, you shoulda bought the sendero. They are superbly accurate factory rifles, especially in the 25-06. You would have been very happy with it. Serves as a great dual purpose round, little much for squirrels, great for coyotes and deer. Cant get much better then a 25-06.

I always had great luck with RL22 in the 25-06

The 25.06 is an awesome caliber no doubt! I have a Remington Classic that will shoot anything i feed it with good accuracy but it has some favorites that it shoots with very good accuracy if i do my part. I've had great results using 4350, 4831 and RL22. My rifle seems to like the 4350 and 4831 with bullets in the 117/120gr range and the RL22 with bullets in the 100/110gr range. Here's a target/group with the RL22 and the 110gr Accubonds.

Awesome results.
