Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Need 25-06 R17 loads

Anyone have any load recipes for 25-06 using R17 with 110gr Accubonds?

not with that bullet , but 75 v-max 85 BT and 100gr TTSX yes

What kind of velocity are you getting with the 100gr TTSX?

Out of my Tikka T3 ...I'm using 110 gr AB, Win cases, 51.5 grs of RL17 with 210 match primer and getting 3050 FPS,

53 grs of RL17 with a 100 gr Balistic tip gets me 3300 fps.......both loads are safe in my rifle, please work up safely in your's

not running a full load but at 3220 FPS its very good groups .2's @ 100M . that's the claimed factory velocity in a few loads.

My 23" 25-284 gave somewhere around 3,100fps with the 110AB but goes over 3,300 with 100gr E-tips, both with RL17.

Alliant's website lists 48.5 gr as max w/ 120 gr BTSP & 53 gr w/ 100. Split the difference, drop by 10%, kiss em on rifling & work your way up.

Thanks for the info, guys. Powder locally was so picked over, this was my only option.

It is a good option....

It'll likely be a good one w/ a burn rate really near 4350.

We are having a really tough time finding Reloder stuff around here so I've switched to Ramshot. If you can find their stuff where you're at I'd HIGHLY recommend trying Hunter, which is slower than the 4350s; I actually "discovered" it when searching out a replacement for RL-19 in my 30-06. I've had outstanding results w/ it in my 257 AI (nearly identical capacity to 25-06) pushing both 90 gr GMXs as well as your 110 NABs.

Good luck,

I had excellent results with H4831 pushing 115gr Nosler Partitions. Just can't find that or 4350.

17 is a good choice in the cart, so definitely not a bad option to have. It gave me the best MVs in my last 25-06.

51.5 100gr TTSX 3220
