Hello y'all. I did a search for any obvious threads on here first, as well have looked at various online powder companies data, I.E., Western Powders Data Version 6.0. I have a stockpile of Accurate 2700, and it is apparently not recommended for 25-06. It is used in 257 Roberts Ackley improved for various weight bullets though. I was curious if the higher 25-06 case capacity is why this powder will not work well, or has no one bothered to test this particular powder in a 25-06? I apologize if this seems like a very dumb question, but I just want to see if I am crazy or not. :rofl:
P.S. I have used it for 270 Winchester and 30-06 in 110-165gr weight bullets for each caliber so I'm sure it would be safe pressure wise, but I would not know what a starting load would be with the smaller .257 diameter if that has any effect.

Horsefeathers! Its right beside IMR 4350 on the burn rate chart. Depending on your bullet weight it might not be the best but it will work. Definitely worth a try. I'm using IMR4350 with Sierra 117 PH's and am happy with that load.

Hmm, I am getting some 135gr Berger .257 bullets and there is literally no data on those so I'm not sure where to start with that weight.
