Need advice for best powder choice 25-06

[p5200]

I have placed an order for these bullets for my first attempt of loading for my Tikka t3 Lite. Can someone please, recommend a good powder choice for these and also, maybe primer choice? I will be getting powder and primers locally. I know I can get CCI primers but not sure what else is available.I plan to use these for a little paper punching. Thanks!

Reloader 17 you could start in the 50 grain range. Alliant shows 53 grains with a 100 grain at 3390

I assume reloader 17 is the name of the powder? I'll check around tomorrow and see if I can locate some. Thanks!

I had the best performance from reloader 19 with lighter bullets and reloader 22 for the heavier ones. Have also tried H4350, H4831, H1000 and IMR4831.

This has been my experience with this caliber as well. I still need to run some Re 17 through mine and see how she likes it. Also in my experience WLR primers worked best for me.

I was looking at my Lyman 49th edition manual but, didn't see any Reloader 17 listed but a lot of other RE. numbers were, listed ? I'll have to check elsewhere for info on that powder. my Lyman listed 47 grain H-4350 for starting for 100 grn. bullet Thanks very much!
