If you have any, retumbo is probably one of the best powder for heavyish bullets in the 25/06
YESSS! SO MANY OPINIONS!I've heard....that the 133's are picky and the 135's are not. My 25-06 likes retumbo with the 115vld. I'm waiting on a 7.5tw barrel and probably going to toss a coin between 25-06AI and 25 sherman on this next chamber. Welcome to the quarter bore rabbit hole lol
If it's a carbon barrel I'd save the proof for a hunting rig. I'd buy a heavier, less expensive premium barrel for the range.Bench only.

Not by a long shot, Ackley himself didn't see much use in improving cartridges based off the .308 or .30-06. Cartridges that have a lot of body taper are improved, one of Ackley's favorites was the .250 Savage case. If you look at a .250 AI case and a Creedmoor case, you'll see he wasnt wrong.I've heard......that chambers like 243ai and 25-06ai gain the most velocity from the "improvement"
?2 shots?
