25-06 berger 115gr VLD powder load

[tonganjord]

I have a 25-06 Rem that I am trying to figure out a load for that I could use a berger 115gr vld for. Does any body have a good powder and the weight for this load that I could get a tight group at six hundred yards to a thousand yards?

Welcome tonganjord!

I too have a 25-06. My encore consistently shoots 2.5-3" groups at 400 with 115 VLD's. Here's my load data

115 Berger VLD
52.0 gr. H4831SC
Fed GM210M
~0.010" off lands

I've shot this out to 550 and had great success but I haven't taken it past that. Im sure some of the others will chime in and give their opinions. Hope this helps.

It shoots excellent, I believe its right around 3075. Shot chucks to 650 and ran out of field. it's not hott but work up to any load you hear or read about guns are different...good luck

I was using RL22 and CCI 200 primers but can't remember the exact load. I will see if I can find it.

My load is:

54 gr of H4831sc
.010 off the lands
3050fps out of a 24" barrel

This is not max but I would start lower and work up.

Drops have been verified out to 700 yds so far. Shot a 3.8" group with it at 700 yds the other day.

I had a custom turret calibrated for a100 gr nosler spitzer with a velocity of 3170 fps. How much will it change by switching to a 115 gr vld berger. Any tips to try and make it so my turret won't be so far off by switching?

I don't think that it would work. Different BC and different weight will give you very different drops.
