had a freind give me some 75gr sirrea hollow points to try

[Evan03]

i think ill dig through and find out what i was loading my 75gr vmaxes at bump the load down some then work back up, of hand i cant remember what powder or charge i was pushn

curious if any other have good loads for the 75gr bullet to give me some place to start.

You don't say what caliber they are for but I can tell you this much. I have good luck shooting them in the 243 with IMR4831 and in the 6mm with RL19.

You're new, George (and welcome aboard if you haven't had one yet!) so you don't know Evan. It's a 25-06 and he'll be whacking some Idaho 'yotes with those 75s.

i coulda swore i mentioned the 2506.

still havent loaded any yet, been tryn to round up my dies and all the good stuff. all my junks scaterd from here to somewhere and my press is broke grrrrrrrrr, forgot all about that. maybe thats why havent been reloading much.

ive got both powders so illl load up a few with each and see what happens. even though reloader 19 is PITA.

Evan,
I`ve shot more of the 87 gn. Serrias in my ,257 AI, but did have real good luck with the 75`s. The first groundhog I shot with the .257 AI was with a 75 gn. Serria at abt. 25 yrds. and the bullet did not exit. BOY WAS HE A MESS INSIDE!!!!! If you have some 4831 powder on hand you might give that a try. If not what every you have will probibly work.

My own experience with the .25-06 and it is somewhat limited is that the slower powders like Rel-19, IMR4350 and 4831 work best with the heavier bullets, 100grs. and larger, and powders like IMR4064 and IMR4895 do better in the lighter bullets. At least this is true with my rifle. Best wishes.

I'm still in the load development stage with my .25-06 but find the Sierra 75gr. HP is none to accurate in my Remingtoin 700BDL, grouping a best of 1.5" (3 groups of 5 at 100yds.). The Sierra 87 gr. SP does much better .55" (also 3 groups of 5). The 75gr. was fired with IMR4064 49.0grs. while I used IMR4350 52.2grs. with the 87gr. bullet. Of course you can't tell anything definitive from one range session, but at least it gives me some idea of what to expect. Best wishes.
