Load data in caliber .25-06 Rem. with .257 | 90gr | Reichenberg HDB Universal bullet and 98 powders. The key underlying parameters are shown in the table above. The recommended powders for this cartridge and bullet combination are ReloadSwiss RS 60, Winchester 760 and Alliant Reloder-16.

Important Notice: DO NOT go below Minimum Charge or above Maximum Charge. Since we have no control over the equipment and components used, any responsibility and liability for the results achieved is rejected.

Only powders/loads that match the current filter criteria are displayed: max pressure of a load ≤ 90% of max. standardized pressure, fill rate ≥ 80% and propellant combustion ≥ 95%. Use the sliders above the tables to adjust these thresholds.

Charge: Powder weight in grains. Start with the minimum load and work up carefully.

FR (Fill Rate): Case fill as a percentage. Values above 100% mean compressed loads.

MaxP / %: Maximum chamber pressure in bar and as a percentage of the standardized maximum for this caliber.

V(0): Muzzle velocity in feet per second (fps) at the standardized barrel length.

z (Powder Burn): Estimated propellant combustion percentage at bullet exit.

This overview compares 117 powders for .25-06 Rem. loaded with the .257 | 90gr | Reichenberg HDB Universal. Alliant Power Pro 2000-MR delivers the highest muzzle velocity at 3,432 fps; across all powders the maximum-charge window runs from 2,103 fps to 3,432 fps. Accurate 3100 gives the best case fill at 100 %, and 117 of the 117 powders fall inside the usable 80–100 % fill window.

Relative to the caliber's maximum pressure (450 MPa), the top charges use 55–90 %, leaving at least 10 % headroom. The 90.0 gr projectile in 0.257" calls for a 1:11.0 twist; slower twists will usually not stabilise this weight. Accurate 3100, Accurate MAGPRO, ADI AR 2209 reach 100 % fill or more at maximum charge, so these are compressed loads: they need a long drop tube to seat cleanly and react sensitively to the case capacity of your own brass lot. ReloadSwiss RS 60, Winchester 760, Alliant Reloder-16 rank at the top here: for .25-06 Rem. with the .257 | 90gr | Reichenberg HDB Universal they combine a high case fill with complete burn and sit in the upper velocity band. As outliers, Accurate MAGPRO, ADI AR 2213, Alliant Reloder-22 burn incompletely and react more sensitively to barrel length and temperature. Always begin at the start load and work up in small increments while checking case and primer for pressure signs.
