New To Me 30-06 Loads

56.5 to 57.5 in 06 with 165 gr bullet is a very well known and typically accurate load. Get in that range of charge if no pressure and try different seating depths. You ll find a winner if rifle is capable.

If you look at my pics of targets the 56.5grn load is not a bad grouping. The 57.0grn is not bad as well. Maybe I just never decided to try to run OAL set to see if either of those loads would tighten up for a group. Maybe it might be worth my time to try them. I just loaded a length from a factory load to have a length to start when testing what powder load would give me the best group first.

The Nosler tables does list the 57.5grn load of H4350 as it's most accurate load they tested. Maybe it's worth the play to gain that extra fps out of the 165 pill.
