[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2852597, member: 27307"] There is currently a long list of load development information and data available from many resources. Since your rifle will have distinct preferences with regard to loads and bullets, you will need to do your due dilligence to discover exactly which bullet, powder and primers satisfy your needs. What works for one may not work for the other. Yes, I understand wanting some guidance to get started successfully. Here is a good graphic from Nosler to give you a cross-section of powders: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1688475021953.png"]475021[/ATTACH] I started my apprenticeship having access to both the standard and Ackley version of the .25-06 reamers. I was also bless to have access to 50LB barrels of H-4831 powder. Maybe not the best choice for the standard case but it was better than having to purchase powder on my own. Since then, I've switched over to the Ackley version completely. When chasing the Mule deer on the desert, this cartridge provides both accuracy and range required for my pursuits. Currently, I'm using the Badlands 110 Super BD2 bullets and longer throated chamber. These are seated over Re-23 or Ramshot Magnum, cooler burning powders but yielding good velocity. In an effort to explore other cases for enjoyment, I have now converted the 6.5 Weatherby RPM to hold the better .25 caliber bullets. The Badlands 110 grain is primary, seated over Re-25 and VVN-565. I'm using a 26" barrel since the shorter barrels only handcuff the case capacity and performance. Enjoy! :) [/QUOTE]
