from-a-grand:
In fact, your load is an overload.
The Hornady 4th Edition Manual lists a max load of 54.8 gr. of IMR 4350 with the Speer 87 gr bullet [Speer #2530] in the 25/06.
Thought you and others should know that; before posting, you need to declare that if you know it.
Perhaps some clarification is needed. IMR or Hodgdon 4350?
Not sure why Hornady would have data for speer bullets, but the 87 grain 25caliber Tnt bullet is pn#1246 (not #2530). According to Speer's #12 data manual I have handy, h4350 grain range is is 54.0 to 58.0, so h4350 is not over book max if that is the powder. IMR4350 is 52.0 to 56.0grains.
