110g accubonds and H4831sc. A great bullet and a great powder

[demontang]

the imr 4350 is a good powder for the 25-06 too. I still think the 110 accubond will work great for what youll be hunting too.

I've got a tikka in 25-06. Here is what I use. Pronghorn died good.

25-06, Nosler Partition 100 Grains, Alliant 19 55 Grains, Federal LR BR Primers , OAL 3.185
25-06, Barnes TSX 115 Grains, IMR 4320 44 Grains, Federal 210 Large Rifle, OAL 3.189
25-06, Nosler Partition 100 Grains ,IMR 4350 48 Grains, Federal 210 Large Rifle, OAL 3.20

ray is alliant a powder?  what is oal?  please be patient as i have not reloaded.  also is tsx just a brand name?  i am leaning toward accubond or barnes and will probably get a couple of powders.  will any primer work?  thanks for all the info, you guys are great.  mike w

117 grn interlocks over 49grns IMR4350 works well for me.

Alliant is a powder. Reloader 19 is the one in the recipe I listed made by Alliant.

TSX is short for Barnes TSX. I use large rifle primers, and have had good luck with Federal and CCI.

OAL is overall length. Since you have a Tikka it might be good to consider the length I listed as I bet it lines up similar.

4350 is a good powder that I like as well as Alliant RL 19 for that caliber.

I used 117 noslers until they quit making them, then switched to the 120s.   Have killed everything from a bull elk to a squirrel with it.  I use 87 speer for varmit, and the other for deer.  Its flat shooting enougH I don't need to change the sites between the two.  Bare in mind A LOT of rounds went through to find the "perfect" load.

yea youll want to play with powders, coal, and the brass amoung other things if you really want to squeez all you can if you want to shoot tiny groups. some times you get lucky and its the first thing you try too.
