25/06 loads w 110 ELD-X

[DUCKMAN11]

The 115vld's are going to be a much better choice than the 110eldx. My max is 59.4gr of retumbo out of a 26" 10tw. Was hitting 3400fps with flat primers and 2" groups. Backed it down to 58.8 and 5 shots can be covered with a nickel.

Start somewhere between 54-55gr and watch your brass.

When this barrel goes I will go AI.

If your really want to get wild put an 75gr vmax in there an cut coyotes nearly in half.

Might I suggest Berger 115 grain VLD projectiles, uniform explosive performance at 50 or 500 yards.
I have a 30" Lilja Barrell and I'm getting 3248 FPS with 57 grains of Retumbo with a CCI benchrest primer, cases trimmed to .002 over minimum length, seated up against lanes and grooves but not touching.
My COL is 3.704 including Sinclair comparator.
7 at 100 yards

I would tend to say that you don't have a common sporter rifle! I got away from retumbo many years ago when newer powders came out. My custom ER Shaw 257 rob ai is one of my most accurate rifles and a pleasure to shoot with a fluted barrel.

As to varminting the 87 V-max is great for coyote callers

I recently rebarreled a Rem 700 custom shop rifle w/ a Brux 9.5twist factory contour at 24" with a muzzle break. Does anyone have any good loads. Typically hunt at less than 600 yds in SE Montana for mulies and antelope.

Found this doing a search as I just got a few boxes to try, since the combined technology bullets are no longer available I thought I would try these for the old 25.06 (Rem 700) It been a few months have you had any luck?

Best to date is Retumbo. Can't find any Re 26 or some of the other powders to try.

Dang, that is not in my inventory. I guess I will start with trying my old load for the 115 with H4831 sc.
Thanks
