I shoulda mentioned that...........
I do use a magnum primer for that load. No real reason other than they were a little closer within reach when I started cooking up a load for the 25-06. I had been doing a lot of 7 mag loadwork and I use IMR 4831 with excellent results with that gun as well. 4831 is a slower burning powder and my thinking is that if the 7 mag calls for a magnum primer then why not use one in the 25-06 as well. I think that when comparing case capacity to bore diameter the 25-06 is somewhat of a magnum anyways. It just doesn't carry the belt or have the magical disignation of magnum in its name.
Later,
