30-06 Ackley here (foster/mansom reamer that i like quite a bit), trimming is miminal bc growth seems minimal. Knock shoulder back .002" every time, neck size w collet die. 30" barrel, est about 2950 fps, H4350, sierra 175 TMK, fed 210M primer, lapua cases. Very happy w thatsetup. Cant run much bigger bullet (barrel is 1-13" twist... former Palma barrel rechambered... part of the reason for the AI version, 308 win chamber isnt cleaned up by reg 06 reamer).
Ive got a brand new bartlein .308" 1-10" barrel sitting here, Mod 400 steel too (woohoo!), as soon as i get my lathe up and running (its getting there... working on 3phase power) its going on. Going w everything the same except wanting to go to hornady 225 ELD-M. I primarily just shoot 600 and 1000 yards (mainly just steel plates)
H4350 is very temp stable, that was a big consideration to me, we can have 30 or 40 deg F swing in a day, 100 deg difference between winter and summer, wanted something i could shoot year round and not worry about ballistic differences or pressure differences
I love H4350, lapua brass, have 12 lbs of the former, 600 pieces (same lot#), zero plans to change unless i was just forced to...
