[QUOTE="lever-hed, post: 773149, member: 11667"] The burning rate of RL-25 (RE-25) is slightly slower than Retumbo. Moving up the chart from there is approximately IMR-7828, RL-22, H-4831, then RL-19 being the fastest of these.. RL-25 should not be dangerous but it is at the slower extreme for the 25-06. You may find filling the cases enough for acceptable velocities to be a challenge depending on bullet seating depth. I’v used Retumbo with 120-gr Sierra HPBT’s and will get close to fully compressed loads with a 2.705 oal to ogive. Depends on if the cases are full-length sized or just neck-sized too. RL-17 may just be tooo fast .. always check your handloading manuals and adhere to the guidelines…have fun and be safe!:) Lever [/QUOTE]
