Hey guys,
Trying to find some info for my 25-06 with 87grHP bullets and either H4350 or RE19/22. Anyone with old tested data would be a great help.
Have lost all my old tested data for these bullets, and I am 100% sure that my loads were way hotter than any of the recent manuals list. Shocked
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
MagnumManiac.
Very Happy

I waited awhile to post this because my load is a little different then what your looking for and I thought someone else may be closer. But since noone else is talking, here it is. 75g sierra hp,Remington brass 52g's w760, fed 210 primer. I shot this as a coyote buster and groundhog tumbler alot. This was a custom built heavy barrel on a 70 push feed. The chamber was tight-necked, and resizing was almost unneccesary. Took it to a buddy's benchrest range once and it grouped under .25" all the time and one .10" for 5 at 100. This load was nowhere near max in my gun. I made 20 pieces by trimming some .280 Rem to length setting the shoulder back a little at a time until my bolt would close then outside turning the necks. these 20 lasted at least 7 reloadings a piece sold the brass w\ the rifle to get a 6-284 in a little lighter rig. as far as I know that guy still using the same recipe.

My load is a bit different as well but here it is. Remember that it is safe in my 25-06 but it may not be in anyone elses. In fact I have found that in my immediate family there are three 25-06's and none will handle that very same load without signs of high pressure except for mine. The load is published in an older Hornady manual as Max load. Hornady 87 gr sp bullet #2530 with 57.0 gr IMR 4831 and CCI 200 primers. Velocity is 3500 fps out of my Remington and very accurate. I have used it as a backup for my 22-250 yote hunting a time or two.
