Loads for 25/06 improved

[delta1]

I would like any information on the 25/06 improved cartridge. Looking for any loads using a 100 grain bullet with Varget powder would be helpfull indeed.

The Sierra manual has loads specifically for this cartridge. I am using RL 22 under the 120gr SGK hpbt and it shoots great.

Does the Sierra manual show any loads for the 115 grain bullets with Varget powder or etumbo powder.

Varget is a fair bit too quick for a .25/06 with a 100-115 grain bullet. While there could certainly be safe, effective and accurate loads for Varget in this setup, its a bit of a mismatch, since you'll likely be giving up a good 200-300fps versus what you could get with a powder that would better fill the very large case volume that a .25/06 Improved offers (e.g. H1000, RL-25 class powders).
