I'm not going to be much help, except for future reference.
Never used R-19 or 4350 in a 25'06, although I have owned three of them.
I have used 4831 and W760, in the past, but currently, I use R-22 with 100 grain bullets and AA#2700 with the 75 grain VMax. That's the extent, interestingly, both loads are 57.0 grains. Far and away the best performance I have ever got out of a 25'06 of any version.
I started using 270Win brass a long time ago, I think it holds up a lot better.
Good hunting. LB

Try 53 grains of IMR-4350 behind that 85 grainer. The exit hole on coyotes are going to be quite large though.

If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.

Hey, yeah. Maybe this question should be crossposted on the dark side, just for laughs?

varmit_master,
I shot a few coyotes down in texas with the load I mentioned above. It kills em pretty dead alright. football size exit on broadside shots.
