Does anyone Have A good load using RL 25
For A 250 gr. Bullet in the 340 Wby.
I have one from A guy on the Weatherby group on FB
But there is nothing from Alliant they don't even list it for the 340 Wby.
Thank you
Mark

I just checked some of the loading manuals I have and found two that had RE25 in them. One is the Woodleigh manual and the other is by  well know gun guru down here called Nick Harvey. Personally I have never tried that powder in my rifle and I have tried quite a few different loads. But it may very well work.

Thank you BB
That is right there with the data on my target.
87.5 grs. It shot right at 1" with 250 gr. Sierra GameKings.
And I did find my load it was in the Sierra book
Which is to big for my book rack so it's off to the side. I forgot I even had it.
Thanks again for the loads.  I saved them with A screen shot.

Those Sierras starting out in the 2800 range should make a good load.
As far as load data l can’t help with a 250 grain, but l have a load for 230 gr ELD-X.
