That's the pet load I use. If a rifle won't shoot 52gr of H4350 and a 100gr TTSX 50 thou off, I try something else

Ultimate Reloading did a 25/06-Barnes TSX video about a year ago.

Tag. Watching this as I am getting ready to start on my cousin's 25-06. He's wanting to use a 100 grain cup and core. Any suggestions for powder on that?
Bingo!! I have used this load in several 25-06's over the years with excellent accuracy. Sadly, IMR4451 is currently not available as it bested H4350 in my rifles as far as accuracy and velocity.

In addition to those powders already mentioned, I've found good 100 gr TSX/TTSX loads for different of my 25-06's with RL26 and the highest velocities with IMR4955 (if you still have it from before it was discontinued)

My old mans Sako loves a full load of Retumbo with the 110 accubond. Velocity is around 3300 and sds are 7. Shoots under a dime.
I settled on 52 grains H3831SC and 117 grain Sierra GameKing. This is the most accurate that I have found for both of my 25-06 rifles. I am out past 500 yards taking Pronghorn in Wyoming.
