Here's a fun challenge if anyone is bored - can quick-load provide a few good loads for a 25/284 with a Berger 133 or the new 134 ELD-M? I have the 25-06 load data from Berger and am interested in comparing. I just emailed Hornady as well.
 
Code: 
Cartridge          : .25-284 Win
Bullet             : .257, 133, Berger Elite Hunt #25586
Useable Case Capaci: 54.403 grain H2O = 3.532 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.800 inch = 71.12 mm
Barrel Length      : 22.0 inch = 558.8 mm
Powder             : IMR 4064

Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 1.0% of nominal charge.
CAUTION: Figures exceed maximum and minimum recommended loads !

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 63850 psi, or 440 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

14 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.

The data base I am using doesn't contain the 134 grain ELD-M.
 
Thanks DrMike! Would 4064 be your choice then? I don't see it on the other list. I do have some MRP though, would that be a good one? I was thinking MRP/RL22, retumbo, rl26.
 
I simply used IMR4064 to get me into the right area and to give me an idea from whence to cast my net for all the other propellants. I should imagine that to a great extent, propellant availability will dictate, at least in part, which powder you focus on. Because I'd already generated the data for 4064, I simply put it up.

I should imagine that any of those propellants you name would be a good choice. I have enjoyed good success with MRP & RL22 in the past on a number of similar cartridges.

Are your list of all powders basically displaying max charge?
