25-06 reload data

[sika hunter 1]

Ok, I am preparing to begin load development for my Savage 25-06 (26" barrel). I have never reloaded before.

I will be using Norma brass with 110gr accubonds. I have decided to start with H4831 for powder.

Nosler's website lists 47 grains as a start point, with 52 as a max (and most accurate) for the 110AB
Hogdgon lists 51 grains as a start and 54.3 as max for 100gr partition
Hogdgon lists 48 grains as a start and 52 as a max for 117gr hornady SPBT

I also found an old post on another site that shows Quickload calculating a max load of 57.2 grains behind the 110AB (developing 63,000 PSI in a 24" barrel)



Obviously it is dangerous and foolish to start at a max load. Most sources I have seen suggest starting at 10% under max and working up, but that puts the Quickload starting point near/over the max suggested by Nosler and Hogdgon...

This is where I ask for advise from those more experianced than myself...

What gives? What is the REAL max load for this cartridge/bullet/powder?

Thanks in advance.

I have a tikka 25.06 factory length I'm using 54 grains h4831sc not sure if sc and h are in the right place but super accurate and going roughly 3000 ftps it has the same zero at 300 meters as the 115 bergers thumb nail accuracy same as the berger 51.5 grains of h4350 for the berger.
