Sorry about butting in to the thread, I don't have a 25/06 but have a 25/303 Epps Newton same sase capacity also have a friend of mine who has a 2506.
We both used to use hogdon 4831 with excellent results with 100 and 117grain projectiles.
I decided to try hogdon superformance, that turned out to be the best decision I ever made.
On consulting a burn rate chart it is slower than 4831 so I started 2 grains lower and worked up to the same as my normal load of 4831.
No pressure problem, easy bolt lift, rounded primers.
Velocity with 100grains ttsx went from 3,440 with 4381 up to 3,660 with superformance. Both of these are chronoed velocity
117sst velocity went up from 3,270 to 3,370 fps.
Both these projectiles group to the same point of impact at 200 yards, 2 inches high. 9 inch group.
Sighted 2inches high @100 still 2inches high @ 200 and less than 2inches low @300. Now that's flat shooting folk, hold on hair out to 400yards and things fall down real quick. Deadly on deer and pigs to any sane range.
Thanks guys just my 2 cents worth though you might like this. Try some new powders it will amaze you.
