[QUOTE="budlight, post: 1985515, member: 2939"] You can basically put in 60 grains of powder in 25-06, 270, and 30-06. So some of the slower modern powders work best. I have a 26 inch barrel and my go to powder is R-26 for 100 and 120 gr. 100 and down to 85 grain I use Superformance. R-23 might be a good option. I'm not sold on 117 and 120 gr for .257 dia. There comes a point where the bullets velocity is low enough down range that they don't expand. Just 25 cal hole through the rib cage. Where like last falls muley with a 100 gr barnes triple shock was a bang flop with no lungs left and the the chest full of blood and big exit. [/QUOTE]
