180 G. Accubonds/ 30-06 IMR 4350 or Varget

[Wondermutt]

So, I was wondering if any of you have used both of these powders with the rifle and bullet combo above?

If so, what did you prefer and why? I have reloaded this combo with IMR, but after reloading some more 35 Whelen's with Varget, I got to thinking...... :mrgreen:

Thanks

I have used IMR 4350 with the 180 gr AccuBond and the 180 Partition. My rifle shoots 56.0 grs of 4350 at 2700 fps very accurately.

I've used Varget and the H version of 4350 with 180g a NBTs and other 180 grainers. The Varget gave good accuracy but I started getting a few cranky pressure signs before I got the speeds I wanted.

I have not used varget but have used IMR 4350 and Reloder 22 with both 180 Accubonds and Partitions.. I prefer 61.0 gr of Re 22.. Just seems to be accurate and gets the job done. Good luck.

That was my go to load for the 30-06 and 180 gr bullets.

My load in two 30-06 rifles with 165 gr. Accubonds or Partitions has been IMR4350 at 57.4 grs. That seems to be a great powder in the 30-06 and should work very well with 180 grain bullets as well.

My rifle shoots 180 Partitions and 56.5 grains H4350 well. I couldn't get IMR4350 to shoot as well with 180s.

My rifle doesn't seem to like 180 Accubonds.

My go to powder, because it's what I have the most of on hand, is IMR 4350 for the 30-06 when pushing a 180gr bullet.

Thanks guys. I think I will stick with the IMR. Its hard to measure accuracy with my particular rifle as it needs a new barrel.
