I am having a 6.5/06 made for me and was looking for input on what powder to use? My barrel and reamer are at the gunsmith and my dies will be here Monday. So?? 28" stainless select match barrel pushing Hornady 140s. I am looking for the best powder for 500 to 1000 range. Winchester 25-06 brass. This is my first work up reload. I have only done straight up hand gun loads. Thanks in advance..
New custom rifle load development?

I got very good accuracy with Reloader 19 in mine, but Alliant powder is pretty hard to find right now.
H4831, VV N160, N555, or N560, Superformance, or Hybrid 100V should all be decent powders for that round.

H4350. Look in a manual, but starting around 45 grains as I remember.
