25.06 Rem.
Picked up a very nice Ruger M77 in 25.06 a couple months ago.
Shoots factory loads minute of deer no problem. But i want a bit more accurate than that. I have some Nosler Partitions in 120 grain that i am gonna try out. Retumbo is gonna be the powder of choice here. Going to use this round for cow elk this fall. Now i just need some motivation to hit that reloading bench. Work hasn't been very helpful in giving me time off this summer...

25-06 is still my favorite. I wore out 7 of 'em back yonder with 200 pounds of surplus 4831. Great powder of the caliber and others. The last one I had was a Ruger 77. put around 5000 rounds through it. Retumbo is a good powder but may be a bit slow for it. And now days the best 25 cal bullet for hunting IMO is the Nosler Accubond 110 bullet. Better accuracy, velocity and just shoots flatter. Give up nothing using that bullet

Thanks for the tip.
I have some H4831 i might try if the retumbo doesnt measure up. Bullet selection where i live is a huge issue.....pretty much have to pay extra and get them shipped in. I do have some 100gr hunting ballistic tips to muck about with as well.

The retumbo showed good results in the latest Nosler reloading guide.....so im hopeful. I dont have a lot of time to work on it.

The Nosler 110 Accubond is the bullet of choice in my 25-06, and a friend of mine's. We've only shot deer with them, haven't recovered a bullet yet. They are as accurate as the Ballistic Tips, too.
I haven't tried Retumbo. Hybrid 100V, Accurate Arms Magpro, and Norma MRP have all worked well.
