[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 357125, member: 8622"] Looking for load data? You can pretty much just work up from starting loads for other 117 grain bullets. For instance, with a 117 gr bullet, Hodgdon recommends a starting load of 56 gr of Retumbo, and a max load of 60.5 grains of Retumbo. I used that data with a 115 Berger VLD and at 60.5 grains my 24" factory rifle was showing 3188 fps with excellent accuracy and no pressure problems. I adopted that as my standard mule deer, coyote and rock chuck load for that rifle. Works great. I've taken three mule deer with it, from 175 - 400 yards. All instant one-shot drops. Very flat shooting, and excellent in the wind too. What else you need to know? Load some, shoot some. I think you'll like those 115 VLD bullets from a .25-06! Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
