25-06 and RL22

[Rooster52]

Anyone load RL22 in there 25-06 with 117-120 grain bullets / I get 40 fps slower than IMR4350 powder but great accuracy.

I can't help you with the specifics of RL22 and the 25-06, but for a noticeable improvement in accuracy I'll give up 40fps.

40 FPS isn't going to make a difference to the antelope. If it's accurate, stick with it.

I hate to hear that. I gained velocity when I tried it in my 7 SAUM.

accuracy , if you don't hit it the speed doesn't matter

IMR4350 is what I used with 120 gr. Partitions in my wife's 25-06. It shot very well and took deer, antelope, and elk.

Try RL 26. I get great speed and accuracy with it in the heavy 25 cal bullets.

I'd use the RL22, and not worry about the 40fps. When I reload I can always get higher velocity, than the load I pick, but I pick it for it's accuracy.

Also I'm with Camdu7. Using RL26 in 243Win with the 105gr Hornadys. 120gr Sierra HPBT Gamekings out of the 257 Roberts, and the 150gr. Accubond LR out of the 7mm Rem Mag.

I use RL22 for my 2506 and get great results. I haven't chronographed it yet, but with 52.5gr of RL22, WLR, and 115gr Berger VLD-H bullets my best group was something like .390" at 100yds

Here are some targets from this week. This is the load that I'm going to be using in my 25-06 for WY antelope in about 2 weeks. I have no idea what the FPS is on these, but I know I'm ringing steel at 538yds with very little hold over.

7828 ssc has worked well for me. I wanna say 56 gr. Don't quote me
