I use Varget in 7x57, 303 Britsh, 7 GNR, 7.62.54R, 356 Win, and 375 H&H. H1000 has always been my go to powder with the 25-06. I realize it maybe on the other side of the speed spectrum but years ago I had good luck with H380. Just never tried it in the 25-06. Any users out there?

I have always used 4831 in my 25-06 with all weights of bullets. My rifle loves it.

75gr. V-max's and Varget are like apple pie and vanilla ice cream in my 25'06.
Just remember.

I've always found Varget to be too fast for bullets of 100 grains and over.

There is a very fine line between idiotic and clever. Most internet posters have no idea where it is.

Not a Varget lover...........
RL-19 & RL-22 fill the bill on my 25-06 from 87 to 120 grains, but both versions of 4831 work well too.
Will try RL-17 as well when I get around to it.

ack, such blasphemy lol...
i have loaded .22-250, .223, .243, 6.5x55, .25-06, and .204 with varget and each time varget won out over IMR4064, H4350, H4895, etc.
just keeps ending up the best choice. i am pretty happy with varget.

You should consider RL-15..........usually fills the bill for the powders listed, at least in the cases I load for.
It's especially superb in the 7-08 with 120's-140's & the'o6 with 150 grain bullets.
I think Varget & RL-15 are both a bit too fast for top velocities in the 25-06 with bullets of 100 gr or more.
