75 V-maxs and Varget, or H414, or H4350.
Dunno about the 120's since my rifles twist rate wont stabilize the heavy weights. 100's on the other hand , try either H or IMR 4831, or RL22.

I've used H414 for 75 and 87 gr bullets. Have used H870 (no longer made) and RL22. RL22 is great with 115 and 120 gr bullets.

Default 25-06

What Dick said.

I've had great success with H4350 and the 75Vmax.

I've ment to try those 120HP Hornadys, but never had the time.

Mainly I use the 110 Nosler AB over RL22 now.

Good luck, let us know how you make out.

I have been loading 120gr Hornady HP's for my son's Ruger MKII 25-06 for about 5 years now.With this load H-4831SC /54gr ,Win case+ Fed mag primer .Last fall he planted a 3 pt elk at 400 yards taking out a rib going in and clipping off another exiting.Don't let anyone tell you a 25-06 is too light for elk or moose.Also penetrated over a yard of black bear lengthways the previous spring.Behaves like a .270 with this combo..............Harold

120gr Nosler Spitzer and 47gr of IMR 4350 seems to be my deadly combo in My Rem 700.Dropped a 50"moose in its' trax and a buffalo in its' trax @150 yds.I hate when I see the 25-06 down played.
