I’m trying to start shooting out to 1000 yards, and trying to develop a load for my 25-06. It’s for a Remington 700 long range. It’s all factory, except trigger. 26” barrel. I plan to shoot Berger 115’s. I have h1000, retumbo, imr 7828 , imr 4350 and RE-22 available. I started by working up loads with h1000. I loaded 5 rounds each starting at 52.5grains up to 58.5, In one grain increments. I don’t have my exact data with me, but I loaded all rounds just off the lands. I had two different loads that made nice groups at 100yards. One load (I think 53.5grains) gave me a group of .312”, another load (I think 57.5, don’t have numbers in front of me) gave me a group of .45”. I want to try to develop those two loads further by changing the jump distance. Just curious if anyone has any suggestions for me. Should I continue to develop both charges? Should I focus on the hotter load that gave me group of .45”, or the slower .312” group? Should I keep playing with both? Should I look at try other powders that I have available or focus on what I’ve already started with h1000?
Thanks
