Varget's what I use. I don't load my 25-06 very hot, it's fine with lighter loads and a bit easier on the gun.

I also like IMR powder in my 25. I do want to try some R19 though.

Using RL22 now with 110gr AB's. I had success with IMR 4350 & 4831 as well with 100-115gr bullets. Haven't needed to try very hard to get the 700sps shooting MOA or better(well needed a trigger job of course), it seems to be a easy going rifle at this point any way.

"Reloader 22 or IMR 4831 work great in the 25 06. I always use a magnum primer as well."

Hey redgreen...my reloading manual specifically recommends that magnum primers should only be used for powders marked for them, like Win. 296.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but I've had good performance with regular rifle primers with IMR 4831, 4350, 4895, and Reloader 19, 22 shooting different calibers: 30-06, .270, 7.62 X 54R, and .308

I also have a Remington 700.

I've had my highest velocities and best accuracy with AA3100. I'm shooting Barnes 100TSX 0.050 off the lands. I'm getting 3450fps and 1/2 MOA. This combo is smoking on deer...and coyotes for that matter. kl

My Sako AV loves a max load of rl 22 with a 117 grain pill.This combo gives me my best grouping.Ialso have been fooling around with some IMR 4350 and getting some pretty good results.

Imr 4350 just seems to be a natural performer in large capacity smaller caliber cartridges like the 25-06 it works real well in the 270 aswell seems almost like it was made especially for these cartridges
