Anyone have a good load for the 110 accubond? I am considering H1000, IMR4350, H4831 or RL26. No need for powder charge unless you want to post it, just curious what powders everyone likes. Any info is much appreciated!

Both of my 25-06s liked H4350 with accubonds. H1000 pushed them a little faster but didn’t group as well. Retumbo was magic.

A full case of Retumbo works great with that bullet in my 25-06 at ~3200 fps.
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

53.5 grs of RL 22 produced excellent accuracy in two 25.06's I loaded with the 110gr Accubond.

Thanks for the info! I don’t currently have access to any 22 or retumbo at the moment so I’m sol on that.

The Accubonds weren't out last time I owned a .25-'06. For the most part though mine .. I had 4-5 .. lived on H4831 for 115s-120s and H414 for 75 grain Sierras. I never found a use on game that the 120s didn't do better than 100s nor a use on varmints that 75s didn't do better than 100s so I really didn't do much work with 87-90-100 grain bullets.
I would start with H4831.

A full case of Retumbo works great with that bullet in my 25-06 at ~3200 fps. Same here. Book max of Retumbo resulted in about 3200 fps and excellent accuracy from my 24" barreled Remington 700. Really nice ES & SD figures too. That was full-length sizing and using a Federal 210 match primer. One of the very best shooting 25-06 loads I've ever put together. Haven't used the 110 Accubond on game yet. Typically I've been using the 115 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip with good results. Also used the 100 grain Barnes TSX, and the 115 grain Berger VLD. All of those have killed well for me, just want to try the Accubonds. Regards, Guy

Don't remember the charge weight with the 110 AB. But my rifle liked a load of IMR7828. Tried several other powders and all shot well but just a little better with the 7828.

RL-19 is your huckleberry; RL-22 with 120's.
RL-16 as an alternate to RL-19 if you need more temp stability.
Except with the heavier bullets in each caliber, RL-19 is hard to beat with midweight bullets in all the cartridges based on '06 case................25-06, 270, 280, 30-06.

Its a warm one, RL-22 56 grains under a 110 accubond makes tiny troops @100 yards. fed 210 match for a cap. Rifle is a rem700 LS 22 inch tube.
I have not run'em over the chronic yet, estimated 3150-3200-ish there bouts.... Must be close because I pulled off a 500 yard shot on a tall, wide and wary 4x4 whitetail buck. My blind was a pile of cedar fence posts which doubled as my shooting rest also. During recoil, I could hear the bullet hit the deer. When I came out of recoil the buck lay dead through the Nikon scope. Bullet landed right where the neck and shoulders meet to cleave completely through considerate muscle and spine and exit the deer.
Real tough to beat the 25-06 with sleek bullets, open country and deer.
