RL-22 in my 25-06

[elkslayer308]

Hey there everybody-i was looking to consolidate my 8-10 rifle powders into 2 or 3 and RL-22 has made that possible. Anyone know of any good loads (3150-3250fps in a 24" bbl) with rl-22 and the 100 grain ballistic tip? My remington shoots best at a grain under max or so. Nosler has no RL-22 data listed for the 25-06.

57g RL-22 is the standy for the 25-06 and 100g bullet. Velocity of 3350-3400fps out of 24". It is usually pretty close to max, so start at around 54-55. Usually .5-.75" at 100 yards. This is my dads load for his 25-06, I tried it in my first 25-06 and it shot better then my dads rifle, but I prefer the 115g btip.

thanks bro, i knew you'd come thru for me as u are the 25-06 man!

No problem. The old nosler 3 manual use to list rl-22 with the 115g data. It shows 3200fps. Jump up a couple grains for 100g bullet and its compatible. Hope it works! Let us know how it shoots, I'm interested.
