25-06 load

[Alberta Wexit]

Not right weight bullets but have two loads with IMR 4350. Both 75 gr Hornady one at 3650fps shoots .650" outside to outside. Second with V-Max 75 grains .440" outside to outside. Coyote loads. Severe pelt damage. Weatherby Vanguard 24" barrel. thinking of trying a Hammer Hunting bullet in this rifle just don't know what weight to try.

H1000 and IMR4895 have worked well for me with 85 grain and heavier bullets. The sweet spot for the Nosler BT's has been around .050 off the lands in the 22" barreled rifle I'm currently shooting. Using H1000 and WLRM primers with a 110 grain Nosler Accubond load, it is consistently the most accurate load in the rifle.

I never could get the 100 gr ballistic tips to consistently shoot great. I was trying for 1/2 inch or better. I could get them to hover around 3/4" to 1" with 53gr Imr 4350. Same charge will shoot 90 smk or 100gr Sierra game kings 1/2".

What distance were you shooting?

I used to shoot 115 Berger's out my 25-06AI with H1000. Got me 3350 FPS out of a 26" Krieger. Accounted for multiple deer in that 500 yd range. Shot that barrel out, so now it's a 25-284 to shoot the 131 BJ.

If you need to use slow powders ie: Retumo, H1000, R-22 etc. then do so but You cant beat IMR 4350 for speed and amount needed....no magnum primers needed either

I agree, IMR 4350 and a 117gr Sierra BTSP works really well in my 03A3 Sporter.

Using 100 grain ballistic tips?

I'm at 50gr IMR4350 behind a 100NBT for 3250 in a 24" bbl .257AI, I would think a .25-06 would do that or a bit better with the appropriate charge for your rifle. My particular rifle likes the 100gr NBT and Hornady Interlock with IMR4350, it also likes the 110 Accubond and H4350 at 3240fps.
