[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 738201, member: 10178"] If you want to shoot 100 gr bullets and IMR 4350 you ain't there yet. Work up to 52 grs which is about max but this is usually the standard tack driving load for the 25-06 with 100 gr bullets. This will get you around 3250 fps. The 25-06 likes to do it's thing right at max loads. I have not had any problems with IMR 4350 and temp changes but I don't get out and shoot when it is 90 to 100* all that much. For one thing in the mountains of TN it does not get that hot often and when it does I find a cool spot down by the river until it cools down. :D I have been hearing good things about RL22 with 115 to 120 gr bullets. My deer loads for the 25-06 consist of either 49 grs IMR 4350 or 52 grs H-4831 with the 117 Sierra. It depends on the rifle. My custom 26" Shilen barrel Rem 700 likes the 49 grs IMR 4350 with 117 Sierra Pro Hunter flat base bullet the best and it does 3000 fps. I have used a good deal of different makers bullets experimenting on killing white tail deer as a control hunter in east NC and I really like the Sierra. Accurate and it does a number on a deer. Bang flop. By the way that is a good looking set up you have. [/QUOTE]
