I think Retumbo is a better powder for the combo you listed. I've worked up 115 partitions to over 3200 FPS without problems in a 24" barrel. Accuracy wasn't there, but it was predicted safe by QL and Nosler if I remember correctly.
 
Thank you dr. For the ql info.

I really like this powder in my 280ai and would like to see if it will work in my 25-06. Plus keep it simple with same powders for a few rifles.
 
That looks real good in the 25-06... Might have to break the 25-06 out and give it a shot.. Man, 3200+ with the 115's is pretty good..
