[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 587978, member: 18849"] RT2506 pretty much summed it up..They all have a little different appetite...But for me IMR 4350, H4831 & H4831sc seem to work well in all three of my 25-06s.....However each one has a different taste... The first 25-06 I started with was a 700 BDL about 30 years ago...It has seen many different bullet/powder combinations over the years and now is becoming a little tired with thousands upon thousands of rounds down the tube....At its best the factory barrel liked 110 accubonds and 120 speer SPBTs with IMR 4350 or H4831...The Rem has never been able to swallow and digest a 115 VLD, no matter what the chaser.....This winter Ms. Remington is most likely going into surgery for a complete makeover and will re-enter the world looking like a 6.5-06 or maybe as a .260....There are a couple of other 25-06s & .260s in the gun safe that are starting to make him look, lets say physically challenged.... The 24" Shaw barreled Savage likes the 115 VLDs and 117 Hornady SPBTs with either powder but the 26" Douglas barreled Sav loves the VLDs and IMR 4350....While trying a shorter COAL for my Rem in the Douglas I discovered that the Douglas likes those VLDs .100 of the lands and works best at about .045 to .055....It spits out the 115s at slightly over 3100 with no pressure signs into tiny little groups when pushed with 52 grains of IMR4350.....Remember start out low Randy [/QUOTE]
