Myself, I never start at the suggested listed min load, really a waist of powder. If you start at 10% "usually 1.5 -2.0 grains" below listed max you should be fine. Just remember the data you find in reloading manuals are suggested min/max. Let your firearm tell you what your min/max should be as every firearm is different. Sometimes a listed max can be too high and sometimes your able to bump it up a little more and still be within a safe pressure limit. If you work up slow you shouldn't have any problems.

For the 180 grain bullet, other good powders would be H4831, IMR4831, Hybrid 100V, but typically what works best in the 30-06 is whatever can give you the best case fill at or near 100% or even compressed usually around 59-60 grains.
