25-06 Remington Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 25-06 Remington with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended load. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn rate)

36,724 – 47,753 – 60,333 psi

nominal is 76% MAP (63,000 psi)

Pressure for this powder is extrapolated from a velocity-only fit — the pressure figures carry extra uncertainty in both directions.

Illustrative example — every figure is an estimate; always confirm your load against a current published manual before loading.
