wondering what you all use in your 06 for 180 bullets for powder. brass is Winchester, WLR primers, Hornady 180 SST & 180 SP Interbond bullets. Books all show IMR 4350 as most accurate. 55gr at 2758 Nosler #6 has AA3100 52 gr at 2580.. but I think thats a bit slow. What say U

Loaded up some 200 AB's today to try in 30-06. Nosler Reload Guide 6 shows 53 of H414 as Max at 2560 fps. BC is .588 which is still good for me for 2 + inch at 100 yds. Was looking at seating depth and how much bullet is inside case. I seated at 3.280 Using new Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension...

I have narrowed down some Noslers/ & Hornady 150's in BTSP & SST's All 150's bullets shoot MOA with 49.7 of IMR 4064 in my 06. H4350 or IMR 4350 doesn't produce as good of groups. Been working on data for the 165 gr bullets but haven't found an accurate load yet. any input on this would help...

I received my RCBS concentricity gage in the mail today from MidWayUSA opened and put together. So, I checked a bunch of brass around the neck area of once shot brass that has been resized and deprimered. I found a couple with very little variation, +.002 to -.002 on the gage. Some as bad as...

Specifications for 30-06 OAL is 3.340. I've been seating my Hornady 150 BTSP at 3.230 +or- ( see last posts on range reports). I have tried several powders, IMR 4064, IMR 4350 and H350 with the 150 bullets Hornady and Nosler which yield groups from 5/8" to 2". Now that said, where do I start...

Just wondering what you all do! Sometime ago I heard its "best" to clean the barrel between brands of bullets, say Noslers, Hornady's and Speer bullets, also If one changed powder brands, say IMR and Hodgdon powders. Just curious what your thoughts are. :idea: Reason for asking> I have shot...

Hummm... Just realized in measurement of barrel length where does one measure the length of the barrel? From muzzle to barrel end inside breach, to the breach or what? I just measured with a tape the length of my 30-06. Muzzle to reciver is 22 1/2 inches, so one could conclude that 1 1/2 inch...

Pop I have worked up loads on my 30-06 using imr 4064/ 49.7 with a 5/8 inch group at 100 using Horn 150 BTSP. This is approx 2800 fps. I want to load some Nosler 150 AB's and BT's using H4350. could you work this load up for me?

Just thought I'd post this quote I found on another site. Droul....or grin and bear it. ""Ok, so all that talk about Tika's on the other thread finally motivated me to take mine to the range today. If you will recall, The first time I shot her I was attempting to run 180 gr pills through her...

I tested four different powder on Friday. IMR 4064 is still base powder with 150 & 165 gr BTSP Hornady's. IMR 4350 shot best groups from the 4064, then H4350 with H414 real bad shots... all over.
