Default RE: Savage 111 25-06 reload suggestions?

I think that Savage 111 has a 22" barrel, like my Browning. I've had best luck with 100gr Nosler partitions and Hodgdon 414 powder. The bigger bullets need slower powder to get best velocity and rotation. With the real slow stick powders you're going to get a lot of muzzle flash from unburned powder which means your not getting the velocity you were hoping for. Use 100 gr. balistic tips for range and varmits, 100grain partitions for deer and 'lopes.
