Thread: Recommended powders for 25/06 rem

Well im one happy camper ive been wanting to try a ruger m77 for awhile and have wanted wood blue older model with the tang safety thanks to @jim160 I have secured one in 25-06 once I pay for it next week that is
I have also Secured dies from @chainsaw so good to go

The 25/06 is one ive not owned before but I borrowed one of a mate for my 1st ever deer hunt years ago now
Been keen to have a better play with one since

Im looking at running 110-120gn bullets
I have some really old adi 2213sc here im going to check it tomorrow but might be safer to chuck it and get new stuff

What powders to people recommend?
Cheers

I use 2209 in my 25/06

Was meant to add with 117g SST’s seems to be a good combo for me

For 115-120 pills I found IMR4350 great or slower ADI powders like 2217 or 2225

Adi 2217 with 117 gr ssts

ADI 2209 for 100gn and under
ADI 2217 and 2225 for 115gn, 117gn and 120gn
IMR 7828 is best, but costs more.

ADI 2213 is a bit of a compromise, it works, covers all the weights, but you don't get absolute velocities with it.

And velocity with good SD is the whole point of a 25/06.

25/06 goes best when loaded hard, but don't run mag primers unless you are using a known load ( in that rifle)that you back off first.

Thanks mate good information

Anyone tryed ball powder such as win 780 supreme?

Rambo,i had a ruger mk 1 in 2506 ,owned it for 30years sold it about 3 years back where did you pick your rifle up from
