[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 114839, member: 8843"] The burn rates are differant for the two case because of the bore to powder ratio , the 25-06 has a smaller bore to powder ration that the 25-06 basicaly overbore so you have to use powders that are a little slower buring than in the 30-06 kinda the same way that you need to use slower powders with heavier bullets to get best performance. My experiance with the 25-06 is somwhat limited to 3 guns and all of which shot most accuratly with R-22 and 7828 with the heavier bullets (100gr-120gr) basicaly you need the slower powder for the heavier bullets so the presure doesen't peak as fast ans jump you pressure. this is also the reason that longer barrel work better for velocity with "overbore" rounds you get a longer tube for the pressure to built velocity with the slower powder. Now the 30-06 will benifit from the slower "magnum" powders with the heavy bullets. My cherrished old Holland built 30-06 Ackley would run all over 300Win mag factory velocities with 180gr bullets and R-22 and a 26" Lilja barrel. Typicaly with the 24" tubes that come on the 30-06's and the basic load of 150-165 that is probably most common with the "average" deer hunter that uses this caliber you will get best performace from 4350 and 4831. Now you could probably get realy good velocity with a very small amout of a powder as fast as Green Dot for one shot anyway then you may be picking parts of you action out of your face , becasue the powder is so fast it spikes almost instantly and all all that pressure is trying to be contained in the case itself. Imagine that you have to push a pickup truck by your self , your not going to take a running start a slam into it or you'll end up hurt but you start with a smoot even amout of energy and gradualy build it up and eventualy you will have it roling faster and faster [/QUOTE]
