New stuff to reload for...

[clintbailey]

I acquired 2 new cartridges to reload for last week, a 25-06 and a 6.5x55. Anyone here load for these? So far, I'm not setup to load for either one entirely; I have ordered some 25 cal bullets, and have plenty of 30-06 brass, but no dies yet, although I have some spotted here via PM hopefully. On the 6.5x55, I have dies waiting at the post office I think (also from another member here), but don't have any brass or bullets yet. Powder suggestions would be welcomed, especially a powder that'd do both well, if that exists.

Either of the 4350 and 4831 powders. RL-19 and RL-22 good as well. They're both pretty easy going cartridges to reload for. What rifles?

Both Mauser action built guns my dad had put together

I have loaded 25/06 for 30 plus years, IMR 4350 and 100 grn Barnes X bullets are great shooting in my rifle. Great deer and coyote cartridge.

I bought some older Hornady 100 gr softpoints off a guy on Mewe, got 400+ bullets for about $100. The powder is what I'm worried about, the 4350's and R19/22's probably hard to find right now!

Shooters World has a 4350 derivative, I don't remember what it's called.

And Powder Valley just got in a shipment of Shooters World powders.
