powder ?

What powder would you use for reloading the following rounds.

Nef 243 22" barrel shooting 100gr sp bullet

H&R 25-06 26" barrel shooting 100gr sp bullet (my 25-06 seems to like 100gr.)

Re: powder ?

i went with imr 4350 and i am getting great groups with my 243. i am punching sub moa and can cover 5 shots with a quarter at 100 yards if it strictly hunting your wanting the load for then i found what works for me and possibly would work great for you as well

i am shooting 42 grains of imr 4350 and shooting 85 grain barnes triple shock bullets

Re: powder ?

I was told you couldn't use the same powder for the two rounds. It was supposed to be something about you needed a slower burning powder or the long barrel of the 25-06. Is that not right?

I want good accuracy and performance out to 200 yards. I can bench shoot pretty well out t0 300 with factory loads, but I'm thinking more realisticaly for hunting situations.

Re: powder ?

John, N160 for the 243 with 100gr bullets and the same for your 25/06 with 115-120gr bullets will work. You could step up to N165 for both to get slightly more zip at slightly lower pressures. The slightly faster powders will give better uniformity as a rule and technically, may be better for use in that shorter pipe of the 243.
