25-06 Load Development with H4831sc

[cape cove]

I've shot more game with 25:06 than all my other calibers combined, I use a Hornady 120 gr. HP bullet and imr7828 for impressive speed and accuracy. Don't understand why that bullet isn't more popular as it performs!

Used this bullet in my 25/06 and 257 Wea mag also. Great bullet too bad Hornady has discontinued them.

Right off the Hodgdon bottle:

Nothin' like more lovin' on the .25-06 @ LRH!
If bullets were scalpels, they'd be comin' out the muzzle of this underrated cartridge!

I have been using that bullet, but with H4831, and it has dropped a few mulies and whitetail. Sure destroys the boiler room. I will try 7828 when I can find it. Thanks, Red

I picked up a bunch of the 120 Hornady HP's (flat base) from an estate sale. The guy was apparently a die-hard 257 Roberts fan. Haven't loaded them yet, but it will be my go to whitetail load.

R#25 with 215's is magic with 25/06, 100 and 115-120g. High speed with low Standard Deviations. Beats any 4831 loads hands down...

Will need to give it a try.
