Best load for a 22" 30-06

[Kennibear]

You didn't post your final load. I use 56 gr of IMR 4350 behind a 180 GMK w/ Rem 9 1/2 LRM primer and the pressure is high but safe. I have used 59gr behind a 150gr GMK w/ Fed #210 primer and it shot pretty good too but 4064 was better with the 150gr. IMR 4350 in 30/06 loads only shoots well when I keep the pressure near or at max in my gun. Maybe this is what you should explore.

Always had great results with IMR 4350 and 150 - 180 gr bullets. Recently tried Rx17 and it worked great with 180 grain Sierras! Couldn't do much with it with 150's, though.

The best I got was between 53-54 grains (best was 54.4 and 53.8... odd). Gonna do some more loading and then retest. I use my buddy's bench so I can only reload every so often and we've got a few thousand rounds we need to do in the next few weeks

New ladder set up for the weak using winchester lrp's... Up to 59.0 gr of 4350. Wish me luck
