Any suggestions?

Looking for a recipe. Here are the components I have to work with. Looking for tight shooting hunting loads up to 300 yards.

270 150 Hornady SST
25-06 117 Hornady SST
Remington cases
Fed 210 Match (regular and magnum)
CCI (regular and magnum)
Varget
IMR 4895
H4350
IMR 4350
Hybrid 100V

Rifles are both Remington 700's. 20" barrel in 270 and 24" in 25-06.

For the 270 I use 51 gr imr 4350 in my 760 pump it does the job you wanted.CCI lr primers.

Thanks ky hunter.

C'mon. I know some of y'all have ideas of where you'd start giving the options I've listed.

lots of us are reluctant to give load data for safty reasons, ton's of books out there to reference of "tested" loads.

Ok I'll bite.

This is not my load data. So it's up to you to safely work up a load for yourself, but here's what the Lyman 49th says...

25-06
Bullet 117g Sierra so #1640
case. Remington
Primer Win large rifle
Powder IMR-4350

Starting load. 46g 2735 fps
Max load 51g 3013 fps

270 win
Bullet Hornady SP #2740 150g
case Winchester
Primer. Win large rifle
Powder IMR-4350

Starting load 48g 2524fps
Max load 52g 2833fps

I couldn't find your other powders. I know I don't have to say it but... don't take load data for internet yahoos without double or triple checking it. Just trying to help a brother out and get you a starting point. Be safe. Start low and work up.

Using Hornady bullets, why don't you spend the few bucks and get their reloading manual??

It should answer all of your questions; otherwise use the powder maker websites

What works for one person may not for another, and using some anonymous person's data without verification is risky

Trobin, I'd share a decent load or two for the .270 but I don't use 150's I use 130's and H 4350, which is the bullet weight my rifle shoots deadliest.
And for the 25-06, I only have one bullet weight tested for that one, 85 grain Ballistic Tip from Nosler, with IMR 4350, cover five with a nickle at 100 yds, with ME shooting....

I have numerous loads from manuals. Just trying to see what loads people have tried from those manuals with success

I ended up using hornadys data for the 117 SST with IMR 4350 and fed match primer. Started at 45 and 45.5 grains. With a oal of 3.165. Ogive set back .04's.
