I've currently got two 25/06s and love them both. One is an older M700 and the other is a new T3 blued / synthetic. Two of my pet loads for the Quarter Otter are 56gr of RL19 under a Combined Tech 85gr Ballistic tip. The other is 52gr of Imr 4350 under the 100gr Speer Boat Tail. Both have given me consistant 1/2 MOA or less to 400yds. Hope this helps :).

I have also worked up some loads with 85 grain ballistic tips using Ramshot Hunter, 100 grain game kings with IMR 4350, 75 grain v-max with IMR 4350, and 117 grain pro hunters with Ramshot Hunter. I am interested in comparing your data with mine and I am especially interested in C.O.L. comparison.

Here is the low down boys. The first load I tried was 56 grains RL 22 with a 100 grain Sierra .010″ from rifling C.O.L. 3.142″ once fired winchester brass neck sized only with federal 215 primers at 3130 FPS. 3 shot group size was 1.100, the forth shot opened it up to 1.500″. The three shot group was a nice triangle. If there is such a thing as a nice 1.5 inch group this one was nice not stringing verticaly or horizontaly all in a bunch.
I also tried 52 grains H4350 again but swithced primers from a C.C.I. 250 to federal 215group size went from 1.75 to 1.0, I guess primers do make a differance. F.P.S. was 3150
Both loads grouped pretty much the exact same.
When I have a hunting load worked up with 100 grain TTSX I'll let you guys know how it goes. Looking forward to hearing what other load combinations work. Talk to you later.
