25-06 powder and bullet recommendations

[DIBBS]

Looking for recommendations on powders and bullets for a 24" barrel 25-06 that will hopefully decapitate coyotes. I would prefer good load density and velocity, and not a lot of speed variation from ~55 to 10 degrees or so.

I have a few Reloder powders available 17.19.22,25,26 both 4831's, h4350, and others. Plethora of bullets 85/100/115 grain Nosler Ballistic tips, 117 SST hornadys. I may have a box each of 90 and 100 grain Sierra matchkings.

In the past I used imr4831 and RL19 in a 26" barrel with 85/100 grain fodder.

Definitely NOT interested or concerned about saving hides, but am interested in shock and awe and painting the country side or snow.

Hopefully anyone who can find their ass with their hand knows you aren't hunting coyotes for fur with a 25/06.

I would think h4350 and h4831 would be good from top to bottom bullet weight wise. The heavier bullets might favor RL26. There is lots of 25/06 data on the hodgdon sight.

Always had good luck with Speer 87 grain TNT. Smokes coyotes! I’ll look tomorrow and see what powder I was using

I currently have test loads prepared with RL19 and 85 grain ballistic tips. I am hoping to get to the range in the next few days. If these don't have the desired results, I still have a lot of options available.
