h4831 in 25.06

[rampage]

I would like to load some H4831 for my 25.06 using Hornady 117gr btsp, but my reloading manuals jump from 100gr to 120gr.Does anyone have the info for 117gr ? Thanks in advance.

I would just use the 120 data. If you want to get crazy add 1/2 grain.

I agree with Rick, use 120 gr. data

if you got H1000, try something like this, it worked in a Weatherby MkV Ultralight 25-06

117 gr. - Hornady Interlock BTSP, 57.0 grs. H1000, WLR ~ 3050 fps

you'll probably find the max with the 117's at around 53.0 grs. H4831sc

My ruger likes Retumbo at 60gr with 115gr partitions have'nt chroned the speed yet but should be around 3150fps, great accuracy. Like Tod said H1000 works well also.
