Just added a nice Tikka T3 stainless to my collection and looking for some load suggestions for the upcoming spring black bear season. I have some 180 PT and was thinking RL22 or H4350?

I'll be working up a load for a friend in his. I think I'm gonna try H414 and IMR 4350.

I don't own a 30-06 myself. But one thing I've heard loud and clear is both IMR and H 4350 is the staple in the old -06.

I use Hunter for 180 Partitions from my T3. Excellent accuracy and velocity.

H4350, RL-22 and HUNTER have all worked well in my .30-06 rifles, with 180's.
Those 180 Nosler Partitions are terrific bullets for the .30-06 or .30 cal magnums!

This whole 4350 / 180 gr thing seems to be catching on... :mrgreen:
My 30-06 has a slower 1 in 12" twist and it seems it does not like bullets heavier that 165 gr.. 
I did use it with a 165 gr. Nosler AccuBond over a charge of W760 and it did do a number on a fairly large cow elk just this last January.
I have a couple of Remington M700's, a BDL and a Classic I 30-06 but neither one shot worth spit using either IMR or H4350. :?: :?: :?: The BDL was even worse with H4831. Guess I'll just have to play with them some more.
I have a potential build in mind using an FN style Husqvarna Mauser. I'd leave it in 30-06 but they came with a 1 in 12" twist from the factory according to the list in the Speer manuals. Haven't decided just what I will make it into just yet. Oh well.

Thanks for the replies. I have IMR and H4350, so will try them both.
