RL25

works great with the 25-06. You can use rL22 data and workup. I got 3400 fps with the 100 gr NBT's.
 
I think you would get higher velocities with RL22 and RL19.
What bullet weight are you loading?

In a Sendero 25-06 I obtained the best velocities so far with RL25 with 120 gr. NP.
Also in 25-06AI with 117 SBT & 125 Wildcats.

You guys got me! :oops:
Who da thunk RL25 would give you such great performance!
Looks like a great powder choice for the 25-06. :grin:

POP can you run that rl-25 with the 115 bt and the 110 AccuBond? 3.210 OAL . Also those using this powder do you need a Mag primer for better ingition like WLRM or standard primers doing well? Thanks.

Also will 56-58 grains of this fit into win brass? Or will this be a really compressed load?
