I will also say that a member I talked to on here about 7-8 months ago said he used this load with good results.
I used 150 grain Hornady Spire Point bullets with 57 grains of IMR 4350 powder in my .30-06. This will give you about 2,830 FPS.
The loads I worked up were 165 Grain Hornady SST bullets with a few different weights of IMR 4831 and a few different weights of IMR 4350. I hope I can find a bullet this gun likes as I've tried all sorts of factory ammo and only gotten acceptable results with one type. I got about 1.5-2" groups at 100 yards with Federal Fusions. Then I got about 3" groups with Federal Power Shok. Then the rest of the factory ammo I've tried shot like crap.

So I'm hoping I can find a hand load that will shoot decently in this rifle.

If I find one that works well I will let you know.
