Mine is a plain old Hornady .257 120gr. HP pushed by 48.5/IMR 4350. Load is almost at max and shots very well in my Sako 25-06. Yours?

PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you a scan of a target I shot with my Savage 112BVSS .25-06 @ 185 yds. On the scan I have the load data I used.
I had an Interarms Mark X in 25-06 that loved Speer 100 grain hollow points and 54-55 grains of H-4831, with CCI LR mag primers. This load was pure poison on groundhogs way yonder.
This rifle got rebarreled to 375 Whelen and is used as a cast bullet gun. I use the data for 35 Whelen as a starting point for my cast bullets.
Now I have a Remingtion Sendero, that just does not like the 117 - 120 grain Sierras, using IMR 4350 or H4831 sc. But it does like Sierra's 100 grain Match Kings, using 53-54 grains of H-4831 sc.

Bunch of 25-06
I have a lot of 25-06 reloads to take apart.
I'll let you know when the components are available if interested in good already primed brass and bullets.
I'll be keeping the powder.
This came from a friend who had a mishap with one of his loads and he put a big bunch aside. Now he's no longer with us and I got all that huge bunch of reloads to take apart and sort by brands and primers for cases, by weight and brand for bullets.
Powder is another matter: I have to reclaim it in small batches, being careful about the brand and type noted on the boxes and always comparing with known samples just to make sure another kind of powder doesn't get mixed with the lot I am reclaiming.
If I find some free time this winter, I'll finish that job.
