Dr. DucRe: Load suggestions for 30-06
48 gr of IMR 4895 with a Winchester 150 gr soft point shoots MOA in everything from Garand to Springfield to Rem 742. It's a good bullet -not great but adequate and a good load in everything! 2750 from my Garand.

2ndtimerI recall having good results in my 30-06 with the 150 gr bullets with Reloder 15, IMR-4895 IMR-4064, and Accurate 2700. With the 165 and 180 gr bullets, I used mostly H-4831 and Reloder 22. As I recall, my best loads centered around the 165 gr Nosler Solid Base and Reloder 22. It provided top velocity and very good accuracy from a 20" barrel in a Model 70 lightweight carbine.
