loads for 25-06

[species8472]

Hi all
I would like to load 110gn Accubonds in front of ar 2209 but in there on line reloading data only lists 100gn starting at 47gns and 117gn starting at 44gns. Do i start at one of these starting loads or is there a starting load for 110gn Accubonds useing ar 2209.

Welcome to the forum Species-
You will love the 110 AB in the 25-06. AR2209 has an almost exact burn rate with IMR4350, so if you start at the beginning (lowest) charge listed for 4350 you will be fine. Work up in 5% increments until you find the sweet spot or start seeing pressure signs. Good luck

Welcome to the forum.

Slow powders work well in the 25-06. RL 22, RL 25 and Retumbo are top picks.
In a pinch, you can use the 115-117 gr load data for the 110 gr AB.
Remember to start low and work up.

I just checked the Nosler web-site and looked for load listings for the 25-06 and 110 grain bullets which I would assume is their wonderful AccuBond. Here are a couple powders they used.

H4831SC: 47 - 51 grs. with the max load showing a velocity of 3131 fps.

IMR4350: 45.5 - 49.5 grs. with a max load showing a velocity of 3181 fps.

IMR4831: 47 - 51 grs. with a max load showing a velocity of 3177 fps.

Personally I have been loading in my wife's 25-06 and 120 gr. Partitions using 49.0 grains of IMR4350. It really shoots great! I have just started playing with the 110 gr. AccuBond and have not came up with a load for it as of yet. Just seems like I've been too busy but both H4831SC and IMR4350 both showed some promise. I just have to tweak it a bit.

Welcome and I hope this helps. Their website with load listings is always a good place to start because they will post new information as soon as they work up loads for new bullets where-as it is about every 3 years or so that they come out with a new manual.

I just double checked and yes this load suggestions I listed are for the Nosler 110 gr. .257 AccuBond bullet. Good luck!

 

[species8472]

Thanks for that.
Was thinking along that lines imr4350.
Not looking max velocity just a load that will hit the same spot all time if i do my part.

Best powder I have found for the 110 AB with my 25-06 is R-19. Might not be quite as fast as some of the slower burning powders, but it is the most accurate in my rifle.

 

[nitis]

impossible to beat velocity and accuracy of RL 17 in the 25.06 at least in mine anyways

 

[Guy Miner]

I really ought to try that RL-17 someday...

Have never loaded the 110 Accubonds. I do load 100 grain bullets sometimes, no problem reaching 3300 - 3400 fps w/H4350.

Usually though I run the 115's, and they're doing about 3190 - 3200 fps w/a healthy dose of Retumbo. The .25-06 has become a real favorite of mine as a multi-purpose coyote & mule deer rifle. Excellent accuracy, excellent on-game performance, and little recoil. Every year I end up grabbing it when mule deer season rolls around.

Regards, Guy

my younger brother uses the 115 partions with IMR 4350 @ 47.0 and loves it this spring he killed a 300# russian boar and it was a one shot DRT.

RL22 RL25, H4831 come to mind

Here you go for a reference. I assume you're Australian?

It's been a while since I've loaded for a 25-06 but out of a Remington Mnt. Rifle 22" barrel and a 700 BDL 24" barrel. I just went back to my notes and generally speaking the best loads came from IMR 4831 but the most accurate ones a little slower though were from IMR 4350.

Hope this helps a bit.

Jim1 AB- I got your PM but it's late and I'm too tired to try and figure out how to send a PM back. It's different from how it was before the web-site change. I'll try again,thanks.

I am from the land down under.
Thanks for the link.
Will be shooting Fallow Deer.
They are equal to your mule deer.
A 25-06 should stop them in there tracks.
