I'm looking for a load for 25-.06 in 117 grain bullet. My
reloading book jumps from 110 to 120 so it is a little help but not
much. I will be using this load for whitetail deer, up here on
the prairie shots range from 50-300 yards or so. If anyone has a
good recipe for this load it would be greatly appreciated if you would
share. Thanks.

Trevor,
I do not personally load for the 25-06 but I do have a complete set of up to date manuals that have loads for the 117 grain bullets, specifically Hornady and Sierra. Both manuals reference RL-22 and IMR-4831 as preferred powders.
Hornady RL-22 - 48.1gr (2700 fps) to 56.1gr (3100 fps). Overall cartridge length is 3.170" IMR-4831 - 46.3gr (2700 fps) to 51.6gr (3000 fps). Same OAL.
Sierra RL-22 - 42.5gr (2700 fps) to 50.5gr (3100 fps). Overall cartridge length is 3.130" IMR-4831 - 38.9gr (2700 fps) to 50.9gr (3100 fps). Same OAL. Sierra gives the top charge of RL-22 as their recommended accuracy load and the top charge of IMR-4831 as their recommended hunting load.
I hope this info is helpful.
Jim

Thats perfect, exactly what I wanted. Anyone else have a load
that they like? The only thing I've loaded so far is 87 grain
sierra btsp for coyotes. Thanks again.
