[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 572170, member: 10178"] The powders you have chosen will all work well. For a one powder for both H-4831 or Retumbo would be my pick. I have used the 25-06 for 20 years for WT deer and it is one awesome killing machine. 99% of the time BANG FLOP. I use the 117 Sierra Pro Hunter and IMR 4350 but my rifle is picky and likes 4350 better than H-4831 and I can get the same velocity out of both. I have heard good things from others about Retumbo and the 110 AB in the 25-06 but never tried it. I do shoot the 130 Accubond in my 264 Win mag with Retumbo and it is a very good bullet. Best of both worlds, flies like the ballistic tip and starts to open up like one but holds together like the partition and keeps on tricking. Retumbo is THE POWDER for the 264 Win mag in my book. For the 7 mag I would give the 160 Accubond or Partition a long look as an elk bullet. Retumbo is where I would start with the powder for the 7 mag. When I used to shoot a 7 Rem mag it was before all these new powders came out and newer bullets.
