Kinda "old school" these days with far more powder choices than when I started loading the cartridge in 1978, but 54grs of IMR4831 and a 100gr bullet has long been the choice in my 25-06s.

Others grumble, but I've had zero issues with the 100gr Btip on numerous whitetails.

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