Default RE: Need a 30-06 165gr TSX load

My '06 load for years is 49.5gr IMR4064 for the 180's (2700'/sec). 51gr for the 165's (2895'/sec) and 52.5 gr for the 150's (2990'/sec). Don't know about the Barnes XXX speeds as I can't get them to group well in my rifles. The biggest problem I find in the '06 is with the slow burning powders that take up so much case space you end up compressing the load. I don't really mind compressing loads if there are no pressure signs, however, I would rather have the powder fill the case without compression or have a bit of room left over. Those Barnes bullets are really long so I would opt for something like the 4064 that doesn't eat case space. One good option would be to Ackley the thing and not worry about compression!Good luck and regards, Rick.
