Anyone have any luck with varget and the 25-06 using 100-120 grainers?
Did you get that rifle and barrel yet?
You are in 4350, 4831 territory.
I have had great success with IMR 4350

I use IMR 7828SSC with 115gr Nosler Partition. 54gr pushes it to 2900fps. Deadly combination.
Havent got the barrel or rifle yet lol, just wanted to gather load data earlyQuote:

Varget is what i have and figured to get started on, but if there is a better powder suited to the 25-06, i am all for getting some. Seems like some powders are just go with certain cartridges(like unique and 45 colt)Quote:

If you want to load for the 25-06 then you can use RL22 or RL22 then there's also RL22 or RL22.
That oughta just about cover everything you need to know about acceptable powders for the 25-06
Reloaded 22 is very good too! ^^^^^^
Rl17, 4831, rl22, rl19, 7828, 4350, enduron 7977 and 4955
There's a lot of good powders that you can use for 25-06 cartridge. Varget may be too fast. Please refer to a reloading book at what powders to look at. If you don't have a reloading manual, please buy one. Berger, Horndady, Sierra, are some great references to have. I refer to my Berger reloading manual a lot when looking up loads for a rifle then cross reference with my other manuals if they don't list a specific powder I have for a cartridge that I think will work.
Thanks for the replies! I take it rl22 is a good powder lol. I think i can get 22 and 4350 here local in little rock, ar.
My son has a 7 mag so these slower powders can work there also.
I know rifles are different, but is there a one powder that generally is more accurate with 120 gr bullets?
I would start with RL 22, and IMR 4350. Can't go wrong with either of those.

If i used varget, would it tend to work better with the lighter bullet weights?
Varget will work, it's just not the best choice
