2 Feathers

For over 20 years I have loaded 47gr. of IMR-3031 using the Hornady 150gr. BTSP.
With my Rem. 700 ADL.This load shoots cloverleafs at 100 yds. & is accurate out to 300 yds. (this is the longest range I am able to try).
I have taken at least a dozen deer with this load and never saw a need to try anything else.

Hoyt, 59.8 grains of IMR 4831 willl produce 2900 FPS with a 150-grain bullet in the .30/'06. This is a maximum load, so approach with caution from at least 5% below!

"For over 20 years I have loaded 47gr. of IMR-3031 using the Hornady 150gr. BTSP."

Most folks overlook IMR-3031 when re-loading the .30-06: i think this is a mistake.I use 3031 exclusively with 150 grain and lighter bullets.My lightest charge of3031with the Sierra Game King bullet is 46.2 grains, the heaviest is over50 grains with the 150 grain Sierra BTSP.Have killed over 125deer withmy 3031 handloads over the past 40 years.

This group was fired several years ago from my Remington 700.

I just got back from my cabin in the hills and shot my Rem 750 WM 30-06 with my reloads... I think I found the laod that I'll be hunting with... 46gr of H4895 behind a 180gr Hornady RN bullet... Shot consitent 1" and the occasional 1.5" groupCant ask much more than that from a semi auto huh???

One of the great things about the 30/06 is it's ability to use many different bullets and many different powders. IMR 4831 is better suited for heavier bullets. Right around the 180 grain bullet weight, IMR 4831 starts showing good performance. My suggestion for is a slightly faster powder for 150 grain pills, such as H4350.

I have not used IMR 4831 however, I have used IMR 4350 and 4320 with 150 Gr. Nosler.

i use the imr 4320 53.0gr seems the work really well but if you want to use the imr 4831, i whould try 62.3gr and work from there. you might also want to try imr 4064 at 50.2 gr.
