[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2383993, member: 118816"] Trying to match a factory load exactly is pretty much an exercise in futility. The factory uses proprietary powders which might be close but not exactly the same as what you and i can buy over the counter. I usually take the published muzzle velocity on the individual box of ammo, then hit the books to see what powder I can find that closely matches the velocity of the factory cartridge. For the Federal Premium 30-06 I have found that IMR4350 is pretty successful for duplicating factory loads. Same goes for Sig Sauer Elite, my go to's for factory ammo. All in all...it's a crapshoot but fun playing with different loads. [/QUOTE]
