I still use Surplus 4831 in the 25-06. With the 100-110 gr bullets I don't even weigh the powder. when ready to powder the case I fill it to the base of the neck.then seat the bullet just off the lands. Every rifle I ever had shot well loaded that way. 270 with the 130 bullet too as well as the 30-06 with a 150 gr. I just found and bought a 50 lb keg of that old surplus 4831 A dollar a pound... at a gun show! Have sold 20 pounds of it already. If you were using the 120 gr bullet I found them to be the least accurate of any weight. Don't think the velocity is high enough in the 25-06 with a 10 twist. Always shot better in my 257 Weatherly's. Best bullet in it is even the 100 grains and the 110 Accubond. I would shoot an elk with that 110 Accubond with the 25-06..or 257 Weatherby
