.25-06, 85gr Nosler heads. I need some good data. (please)

I picked up a .25-06 Ultra the other day while in a gunshop for another reason.
 The store-owner knew I liked NEF, so he made me an offer;
 H&R .25-06 Ultra in 98% condidtion with a set of RCBS dies for $200.00.
 So with me it now resides. Two days earlier I ordered a Remington 700 LV 7mm-08 Heavy fluted barrel, as my annual gun-gift to myself.
  Oh boy, I need some intervention type help!

  Anyway, I picked up a hundred count of Nosler 85 gr ballistic tips. (pretty blue tips they are), and I sure would appreciate a good recipe for the .25-06 Ultra. I promise not to use it against you in a upcoming Postal match.
  The Powders I have include:
 IMR-4350, 4320, 4064
 Hodgdon H-380, 335, Varget
 Reloader- 15
 W-760, 748
 
 Now I'm ready for your excellent recommendations.

  So far my best has been 50 gr H-380.

Back in my college days, my roomate hunting buddy was a former Govt Trapper ADC man who hired on for a few years right out of high school.He had two rifles- both custom bull barrelled m700 Remingtons -one a 22-250 and the other was his "big gun"- a 25-06 .Both guns would drive tacks with the right load, but that 25-06 killed everything from beavers to whitetail like the
 " hammer of thor" when that .25 slug was place properly-and a LONG ranges, too.

His favorite 25-06 load featured 90g Sierra HPs behind a healthy charge of IMR 4064.Like I said, it drove tacks.In my experience, another good powder in my for light bullet 25-06 loads is 4350(any brand)..

75gr V-max hornady 47.8 IMR 4320 pri. win.

 I know that wasn't the powders you have and the were out of a remington but maybe this help get started in the right direction. They all worked very well for me. The 75gr was very good,  touching holes.
