Anyone have any luck with varget and the 25-06 using 100-120 grainers?

The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
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 earlyOriginally Posted by Robinhood
I did find some load data for Varget, so if that is what you have, dance with the girl you took to the dance.

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)
Like Robinhood said you can use the Varget,but it is really to fast.The 25-06 is ,for all practical purposes an unbelted magnum considering it's caliber, and likes the slow powders,and long barrels.
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
A good wife and a steady job has ruined many a great hunter.
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.
They who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
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
