R26 for 100 grain+ and R16 for 85-87 grain. Loading some old school 120s with AA8700 and I suspect they will not be liked by Bambi but might have to clean the barrel more often.

Looking in the Hodgdon's Load Data Website I find some interesting loads with Enduron Powders:
100 grain Nosler Partition 7977 up to 3372 FPS with 61.0 grains. 117 grain Hornady Boattail 7977 up to 3153 FPS with 58.0 grains and 8133 up to 3216 FPS with 61.1 grains 120 grain Swift 8133 up to 3173 FPS with 62.0 grains.
All were tested in a 24 inch barrel. These new powders make the old 25-06 step into 257 Wby territory. I will have to dig out and dust off my 25-06 and try and work up loads for these powders. I like the idea of the 120 grain going at that speed. Deer and antelope slayer supreme!

I used to load H4831sc but switched over to H1000/AR2217 with the Hornady 120gn HP. That powder works really well in my 24 3/4 inch barrel.

I've always preferred the heavier bullets in the 115gr - 120gr range in the 25.06 with the Speer 120gr Hot-Cor being my favorite. A full house of RL25 or RL22 both produce excellent accuracy with the 120's with RL25 giving a little better velocity.

120 gr Nosler Partition Federal Brass 53.5 gr RL-22 CCI 200 Large Rifle Primer
Approximately 3120 fps over Oehler chrono and under 1” @ 100 Yds if the shooter is up to it.

My 25-06 does best with 54.0 grains of IMR4831behind Sierra 90 grain Blitzkings. A devastating groundhog killer.

This one is my favorite, except I use H-4831 and not the SC 54.0.....H-4831sc.....120 gr Hornady HP....chrono's 3083 Been a great deer load for about 30 years. Hornady did get rid of that bullet but I'm good to go for many years.
