IMR4895 IN 25-06

[DEFCON]

iI have 8# of imr4895. and 300ct 100gr bullets.
Anyone used 4895 in a 25-06?
any suggestions?
Thanks

The Hodgdon's manual shows 43 grains of IMR4895 behind a 100 grain Sierra bullet for about 3110 mv. I've used this powder for both 243 and 204 and like the stuff but its kind of hard to find around here. Good luck. Dave

4895 would not be my first choice as the 25-06 usually works best with slower numbers like 4831, but if i had 8 lbs of 4895 I would definitely give it a try, if you find a load that is accurate whats the difference? My latest IMR manual shows 43.0 grains as a max load for a little over 3100 fps.

I always shoot IMR4831 in mine

I use 4895 but only with lighter bullets. I jump up to 4831 for 115's
