Start with one of the '4350s', I like Hogdon. capt david

"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds. Get closer!

There are no magic loads for anything but 748 should give good velocity with the light bullets.

Actually, the twist rate of an -06 is a bit too fast for best accuracy with light bullets so you may be disappointed.

Most loading manuals will provide sufficent data, or use the on-line sites of the powder companies themselves.

I used to get some very good results with the Sierra 110 gr HP and 56.5 gr of IMR-4064. Start low and work up, since your rifle may not digest it as well as mine did. Good luck.

Bullets are pretty worthless. All they do is hang around waiting to get loaded.
