[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 597732, member: 10178"] If you are getting good accuracy I know with 54 grs H-4831sc with 115 gr bullet, which is MAX or just a touch over MAX according to the latest Hodgdon manual, that you are getting between 3100 and 3200 fps from a 24" tube which is about as good as it gets with the 25-06. I get better accuracy in my current 25-06 using 117 Sierra Pro Hunters with 49 grs IMR 4350 and 3000 fps from 26" tube but have never tried the Berger bullets. Some get a slight and I mean slight increase in velocity with H1000 and Retumbo but most of the time the accuracy is a little less. H-4831 and 115 to 120 gr bullets seam to go together like apple pie and ice cream. It is what Hodgdon calls an "Extreme" powder that is supposed to be insensitive to hot/cold temperatures. I have always operated on the if it ain't broke don't try to fix it theory. Save you barrel and money and go have fun hunting. [/QUOTE]
