My T3 likes the 110NAB and RL22. 52.5gr at 2840. 58gr at 3160. Both loads 1/2-3/4 MOA with about 1/2 inch difference in vertical POI at 100yds.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

IMR 4350 @ 47.5 grains with 110 grain Accubonds for 2950 fps. Very accurate in my M700.

I have two rifles and two loads. Note, I'm chasing the lands on both so I won't quote COALTO. Just figure on .5 from the lands and work your way out. As for powder, I started at 56gr of IMR7977 and the Nosler 110AB. In one (the 'blond') likes 59.5 gr pushing the 110gr pill at 3125. In the other one (the 'brunette'), she likes 60 gr pushing the same pill at 3150. Loads were developed when temps where in the 50's. I took them out to play when it was around 100 degrees and the chrony measurement of each jumped about 60-70 fps in the warmer weather. Accuracy has been around .5" for both.

My .25-06 shoots 1/4" all day long and I don't even have to do my part...

Yes, I too would like to see R26 tests.
Mine is an Ackley so I will stay out of this, but it sure likes IMR7977 so far.
I am MAGA.

I don't own one but I do load ammo for my hunting partner. From a Savage 25-06.
Bullet: Speer 100 gr. Hot Core Spitzer Powder: IMR 4350 51.0 grs. Primer: Federal 210 Case: Remington 25-06 LOAL: 3.100 (2.677 with Stoney Point)
I had to come off my high horse about it being a "varmint round" after seeing it knock down his last whitetail buck.

Mine uses the .284Win case instead of the '06, but case capacity should be close. I like RL17 and the 100gr Nosler E-Tip. Gives me about 3,330fps and works very well on deer, hogs, and coyotes. No worries about penetration on angling shots and a 250yd zero makes hits easy at most hunting ranges.
Now with even more aplomb

R 26 looks promising! Thanks Berets!
Looking at your load data I wonder if IMR 7977 is a little slower.
No matter, I picked up a pound of r 26 today to play with.

I've been shooting .25-06s since 1965. Never found a better powder for 87-120 grain bullets than H4831.

I cannot remember the recipe, but I am pretty sure it was imr4831 pushing 87 grain nosler ballistic tips. Uncanny load testing session, all powder charges put them into one ragged hole, same point of impact. Could easily and did put 10 rounds into one ragged hole at 100 yards. One of my favorite loads to shoot vermin with, The only thing better at desintegrating pdogs was the 220 swift. Chunks for the win...
Something about the indian and the arrow...

Post your favorite. So far, mine is 55.5grs Retumbo with 115gr BT. Always looking for new ones to try though. Did you chrono this load at all? I'm running the 115gr Partition ahead of 57.5gr of RE25, it spits 'em out at 3266fps in a 24" barrel. Still testing loads for the 110gr Accubond, RE25 is looking real good with that bullet too. Cheers.
