[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1652559, member: 9308"] Here is the .25-06 Remington Data: [ATTACH=full]137690[/ATTACH] And here is the .270 Win data: [ATTACH=full]137691[/ATTACH] That puts your load data for the 6.5-06 somewhere between 48 grains to 57 grains, depending on bullet weight. Realistically you won't GET to 57 grains as the .270 has a larger bore making the pressure lower with that powder charge. I'm guessing you'll end up around 53grains for a 140grain'ish load, but someone with QUICK-LOAD could pin it down more precisely. That still feels pretty 'vague' to me, so the next thing to do would be to find reloading data for the 6.5-06 with powders that are similar in burn rate to RELODER 23. Here is a burn rate chart. Sadly, Reloder 23 isn't specifically listed, but Reloder 22 and Reloder 25 are shown, so we can 'guesstimate' where Reloder 23 would sit in there. [ATTACH=full]137692[/ATTACH] So it looks like a comparable powder would be VihtaVouri N165 and IMR 7828. Finding reload data for IMR 7828 in 6.5-06 is easy here: [URL]https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/rifle[/URL] [ATTACH=full]137694[/ATTACH] So [U][B]it looks like you'd be safe starting at 45 grains with a 143 grain Hornady ELD-X[/B][/U] and working from there, depending on the velocity you get. I tried to find reload data for VihtaVouri N165 as it was also about the same burn rate as Reloder 23, but they didn't show the 6.5-06 in their data. You didn't say what bullet weight you were working with so I'm just "assuming" a popular 'heavy' bullet for the caliber (143gr in 6.5-06). If you go to a lighter bullet, well, then this doesn't really apply and I'm out of ideas for you. [/QUOTE]
