This question opens an interesting subject. I reload for 25-06 and I've tried alot of different powder / bullet combinations. I settled on 100 gr. nosler bt's and partition bullets. Usually can hold around 1" with three shots.
Can never seem to do much better with anything else. I think the rate of twist is too fast for lighter bullets and the barrel is too short to burn enough of the slow powders to get best velocity with heavier bullets.
So my question is do most of you guys (and girls) have one basic load that you use all the time? I know were all going to try things now and then, but sooner or later does everybody have one go to load?
