6mm-06 starter load

[DBK]

Looking for a starter load for 6mm-06. I'll be necking down once fired 25-06 brass (giving it a go) and was thinking of using the Hodgdon 4350. Bullet wise I'm going to use the Sierra 85grn HPBT since i already have them for Dad's rifle! A safe starting point would be greatly appreciated and I'll dial it in from there! Should i use the magnum primers or would it be a waste? Thanks guys/gals!!

I started with middle of the road 240 weatherby loads and went up from there. I used Accuarate mag pro and H 4831 . People were recommending H -1000 powder as well. Rl 22 is another highly rated powder for 6mm-06. I started with 95 grain bullets also but plan on eventually playing with some 70 grain bullets to zap a few Praire dogs.

6mm-06 powder choice (update from the range)

Just recently picked up a 6mm-06 I had built. Remington 700 action and Lilja barrel in an HS Precision stock. This is going to Be an antelope gun. I have scoured through all the posts here in the archives and thought I might ask again about recent powder choices. I started with 50 pcs of 270...
