RE: loading for 30-06

I have several good loads worked up for my Rem 30.06 but this is my favorite deer load. I shoot lighter bullets than mostwith this caliber but it does a number onNC deer around here.

Barnes 130gr TSX
Rem Brass
CCI 200
55grs RL15

RE: loading for 30-06

Clay - my favorite load for my '06 and my friend's two '06s is 49 gr of IMR4064 and 180 Sierra Gameking or Hornady BTSP.

RE: loading for 30-06

i have shot this load out of three different rifle and had the same result..smoa...even good old cheap rifles, like the mossberg atr deliveredsmoa results...lake city brass, cci primers, H4895 50 gr and 150 grain Hornady SST's....set your COL by loading a bullet into an empty shell casing and chamber the round, ensuning that you drop the bolt...good luck and have fun, and share your results

RE: loading for 30-06

165gr. Nosler IB'S or BT's with 57.3gr. IMR 4350 Win. Large rifle primers. Fairly hot load, but groups well in my Savage. Get similar groups with both bullet types. Cannot find a good load for Hornady's, but would love to find one.

There are more different loads for the .30/'06 than the number of dollars Bush is asking for in the big bank bailout! The problem with "pet loads" is that a pet load is merely a pet load for the gun in which it was developed!

However, there are some powders that usually do well in certain rounds. And for the old '06, IMR 4064 is certainly one of these. A very good accuracy load for the M1 Garand has always been 47 grains of IMR 4064 and the Sierra 168-grain Match King bullet.

These powders are alsogood: RL 15,RL 19, IMR 4895,H414, WW 760, and IMR 4350 too, if you get the right amount. In addition, the new Alliant RL 17 looks promising in rounds having bore capacities in the same range as the '06.......

Good luck!

I would agree with you, but over the years in several different rifles a load of 57gr H4350 in front of 165gr bullets has always been a solid performer. Some guns like a little more or less, but that load has been a reliable killer for many hears.
