[QUOTE="HntWhtTail, post: 564537, member: 38547"] I have done alot of experimenting with the 25/06 . I can say that all of the advice given above should be taken seriously. Sticky bolts and flattened or blown out primers are not to be taken lightly. But I found your post intresting because I just switched to the 115vld I have two boxes of each the hunting and the varmint. I started with 4320 because it was always the best powder for my hunting load with 120 speer spbt. good but wanted to try something new tried rl22 very poor accuracy wise, I then got on the more speed quest.. and ended up on h4831 I am currently a slight bit over max with no pressure signs in my ruger vt with 26" bbl. I have gone past where I am but was getting inconsistent accuracy and stcky bolt so I backed off I have since fingured out what was going on and will soon creep up the powder by.25 grains at a time. a note about seating vlds they make specific seater dies for a reason. My dies were giving very inconsistent depths when you are only 1 1000th off the lands a little too far out is alot hence the inconsistency I have went back to checking oal on all rounds I found that if I seat the bullet then back out and turn the shell then seat again I am staying within spec. BTW I am getting .4" 5 shot groups and running average of 3150fps. Now if I could just get that buck to walk out on the right side of the fence...email me with any questions I am glad to help [/QUOTE]
