Since 1978, IMR 4831 and a 100 grainer for maximum performance in the three 25-06s I favor.

Have loaded anything from a 75gr to 120gr (Sierras). Shot 87gr spitzers for years on woodchucks and either 100gr or 117gr for deer. Ever since the 100gr Nosler Btips hit the market, that's all I use for whatever is in the cross hairs

Plenty of good powders and bullets to choose from now. But what I started with wasn't broke and still ain't, so no attempts at a fix. Enjoy the rifle, great cartridge.


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
