can06W760 and Hornady 165gr BTSP
I've been working on a load for my M70 30-06 using 165 BTSPs and IMR 4350 with good success but was wondering how well some Winchester 760 would do? The only problem is I dont have any relaoding data for W760 and 165 grain bullets .. anyone have the data handy?
Thanks,
Steve

vapodogI use the data for H-414 in my 30-06 when I use WW-760
Start down about 6-7 grains and work up as with any powder/load

popenmannHodgdon #26 lists 55.0 gr WW760 with a 165 gr. bullet in the '06, for 2829 fps in a 26" barrel.
Winchester lists 54.6 gr. with a 165 gr. Failsafe, 2690 fps, 53,300 psi (pretty tame). You can download the data on their website.

dogcatcher223I used to use IMR4350 with Nosler BT 165's. They shot ok, but they really shined with W760. I worked up to 56grs which Nosler lists as the max charge. I am also using Remington brass, and a WLR primer with no pressure signs. Out of my 30'06 with a 22" barrel I am getting 2850-2900fps.

can06Thanks all, I'll start working up a load from 51gr. and see how that performs.
dogcatcher223,
Glad to hear the W760 can show some good results.
