No target photos that I can think of Ray. H4350 and a 165 has been my standard .30-06 load for a long time. Consistently sub MOA from my Rem 700. Not that accurate from the old 1917.

Ray my rifle a Ruger 1B in 30-06 with a fixed power 4x Leupold really likes IMR4350 as did a previous rifle I had in 30-06. Both shot the exact same load. I load 165 gr. Partitions or Accubonds. My Partitions are seated to 3.375 OAL using Winchester brass, Federal 210 primers, and 57.4 grs. of IMR4350. The Accubonds I left the seating die where it was set with Partitions when I loaded the Accubonds. The OAL with those is 3.410. It worked and they are just a bit longer and shoot to the same POI or very very close and it groups just as well.
Below is a 500 yard 3-shot group, again with a fixed 4x scope and this load!
This next group is with Partitions at 100 yards. I like my rifles sighted for 2 3/4" high at 100 so the third shot I moved it up just slightly. Still a nice group.
Here is the Accubonds at 100 yards.

Ray this is what the AccuBond looks like at 25 yards after going into the 5th jug and staying there. It shoved the 6th and 7th jugs about 2+ inches but did not penetrate into number 6.
This is how it looked when I went to find it.'

Is that an all factory rifle ? Long chamber !!!!!
My COAL for vanguard s2 is 3.343 " with a 165gr BT.
Ogive touching !
I guess I have a short / normal chamber dimension.
I've been trying to figure that out

Ray, I didn't have time to respond much earlier.
H4350 (as well as IMR 4350) and a quality 165/168 gr bullet is a long-proven combo. Works in many different .30-06 rifles.
I load the same ammo, for both the .30-06 rifles here. My son uses the ancient Model of 1917, with the 21" bobbed military barrel, and I've got a pretty new Rem 700 CDL with a 24" barrel. There's about a 100 fps difference. The short barrel makes about 2750 fps and the longer barrel about 2850 fps.
I think I could get some better accuracy out of the Rem 700. But I'm happy with roughly MOA for my purposes. The 1917 seems about maxed out at around 1.25" or so at 100 yards. Both are plenty good enough for game.
I use either Federal or CCI large rifle primers. Not magnum primers, not match primers.
Nosler brass is really nice to use, but not necessary.
It's such a doggone flexible cartridge. Almost seems eager to please.
Best of luck loading it. Good results are only a trigger squeeze away.
Regards, Guy
