[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1060998, member: 10178"] You may run into pressure problems before you get to 52 grs H4831 if you use Fed 215 mag primers. If you are going to try 100 gr Sierras in your 25-06 and can get some IMR or AA 4350 work up to 52 grs. That usually really shoots well. I have found that most of the hunting style Sierra, Hornady, Nosler bullets shoot best between 10 and 30 thousands off the lands. I learned the hard way to never load a bullet closer than 10 thousands off the lands with hunting rifles. It is too easy to stick a bullet in the bore and dump the action full of powder when unloading your rifle to cross a fence or something or climb a tree stand. A round that is in the magazine while the rifle is fired a couple times can pull forward due to recoil and when you load it in the chamber and don't shoot it out it can stick the bullet. Out in the wild with a bullet stuck in the bore and NO cleaning rod makes a bad day. :rolleyes: I like a 2 1/2 LB trigger pull on my rifles. I can feel the trigger and with just the slightest pressure BOOM. If you are having to pull much on your trigger it has to be 4 or 5 lbs. A good trigger will cut your groups a great deal. [/QUOTE]
