25-06 Rem, Remington Sendero
Nosler Custom Brass
CCI BR2
Sierra 90gr BlitzKing
100 yards, 5 shots from bench with sand bags
IMR4831, 54.5 grs
I didn't even have to do load work-up. I will take this and use the saved powder to kill groundhogs.
I don't even have to change my windage and elevation.
That's a staple in the middle of the bull.

That group looks like varmint medicine, for sure.
The more I read 'bout the 25-06... The more I get interested in it... [:p]
I'm a real fan of the 30-06... The 25-06 would be a natural progression for me.
The .25-06 is a flat shooting rifle. Yours should be a great varmint gun.
I have some H4831sc. Do you know if this powder can be substituted for the IMR?
Not weight for weight, no. According to burn rate charts, H is somewhat slower than IMR.
Go to the Hodgdon website for better info.

The numbers are close, but not identical.

NO, they show different grain loads for same bullet [B)]
That was your group with no work up? Wow, imagine what it could be if you tuned it. Great job!
I tried some with bullet seating depth, but like a lot of guys I was trying to conserve components for when it mattered. This next varmint season I will be stocked up on the 90 grainers and IMR4891. When the SHTF with ammo and reloading components I was laying in a hospital bed for four months, and to be quite honest I did not care that I was low on some stuff[:D]
When you said "Winner" I thought I missed out on a giveaway[:D][}:)][:D]
Can I put my name if for it now???[;)][:D][;)][}:)][:D]
Nice shootin'! Hope you are feeling fine when varmint season comes around again.
