New Rifle - Seeking Favorite 25'06 Recipes

[308 NormaMag]

These are two loads I use in my 22" savage 111 25-06.

53.2 H4831
Fed 210 M
115 Berger HVLD
3110 fps
I've shot this load to 600 yards and if I do my part can get 4" groups. This as far as I want to shoot deer with this bullet.


49.8 H4350
Fed 210M
100 Barnes TTSX
3190 fps

Thanks for the loads.

My 25/06 is still stuck on 100 grainers, it's been an Overachiever with Sierra Match Kings and nosler ballistic tips with 52 grains of imr 4350and a book Max of 58 grains of RL/22. While I do have mostly Sierra 117 boatails I've never made a serious effort in reloading them ,my bbl is a CM 26 inch custom conture cut dwn from a full bull blank,1/10 twist ,Shilen ,mated to a 700 action that's been tricked out. Cheers it's a great round

Good morning Jeff. I imagine you are getting pretty good velocity out of that 26 inch Shilen barrel. I think the OP is going to find out a decent 25-06 six is easy to load for with a lot of recipes on this thread.

Morning Red!!!, my RL-22 is mid3400 in cold hunting weather ,never cronographed the 52 IMR 4350 but it's accurate ,cheers

Morning Guys, through some trading I am now the proud owner of a new ,(to me) Savage 25'06. This is the 3rd or 4th 25 that I have owned, and I have enjoyed all of them. It has been some time since I have loaded for the quarter bore so was looking for some favorite loads in the 110 and 117/120 bullet weights. It will be used as my deer rifle next year. Thanks in advance for your assistance, and look forward to some time on the range dialing her in.

You have gotten excellent recommendations, but it might not do you any good unless you have or can get those components. How about starting with the components (brass, bullets, primers, powders, etc.) that you already have? Good luck!
