Hi I have 85 and a 100gr b tips. I have reloader 19 power. Going to use it on coyotes and deer. Or would try other bullets. I also have imr 4350. On hand haven't look to look to see if there any loads with is power.ty vm
 
You're covered with what you have, those are my 2 favorite powders. I shoot the 85 gr at 57 gr of RL19 with Fed BR primer in Winchester brass. Worked this load up from the Nosler manual.

I used 4350 for over 25 years but gave it up for RL19.
 
I use H4831SC. I use Nosler 85 gr BT for the varmints and 115 gr BT for Deer. This powder has always performed real good in a .25/06. 100 gr Partions also shoot well as 75 gr V Max. Try some H4831SC but the powders you mentioned should do well also.
 
H4831SC is another powder I've had very good luck with. I've gotten better accuracy with the SC then the regular.

Although the 100 gr bullet is a good all around bullet for deer or larger I'd prefer the 115 gr or greater.
 
I used a max load of a max load of IMR 4350 with the 87g Speer with a Win primer in win brass at 3600 fps, extremely accurate.

With the 100g Speer BT and the 100g Hornady flat base, a load of 56-57g of R#19 in a win case with a win primer was super accurate at 3400+.

Last 25/06 I had loved the bullets seated .040 off the lands.
 
when i had my 25-06 for small grainers i used either the 75gr vmax or 85 gr NBT...liked the Vmax a little better.
for deer i used 115gr NBT they put a hurtin on deers for sure.
 
I worked up a load today Reloader 19 power 58 grs and a 85 gr b tip @ a 100 yards i cut the same bullet hole. One of my friends shoots a factory load 90 gr for deer he loves it. I am going to fill one of my doe tags with the setup. Ty vm
 
I use 57.0 grains of RL-19 with the 85 grain Nosler BT. In W-W brass, but on a hot day, Remington brass flattened the primers a little, so work up carefully. The velocity was around 3460 fps.
 
IMR 4350 and 100gr bal tips should work just fine if you are looking for a 1 bullet do it all. I am using the 100 gr bal tip and 4831sc for that same thing out of my 25/06. The 4831sc was just a little more accurate than the 4350 charge but I would have been happy with it.

I don't save hides though unless it is a really nice one...just fyi.
 
I think you will find quite a few guys like R-19 @56gr or so with the 85gr Nosler BT. Seems like the cartridge really likes this most guns.

I prefer 87gr Speer TNT with this but use what you have.
 
56.5 gr of 4350 and an 87 gr Speer TNT is my go-to load with my 25... I use Win. Brass and CCI Primers, and off a lead sled group this load @ .56"

And this... I have never shot a 'yote with my 25-06 that looked real good after eating the 87 gr pill...
 
My deer load: 100 gr Nosler, 54 gr 4350, Win Brass, Win Primer

My Coyote Load: 75 gr. Sierra BTHP, 45 gr Varget, Win Brass, Win Primer.

Both loads produce about 1.25" groups on bull at 200 yds without re-zeroing my gun...
