My favorite has been 49 grains of H4895 for 2950 fps.

I just wanted to see what everyone else was having luck w/.

Good Luck!

I've shot more deer with the 150 grain Speer spitzer on top of a mild load of 57.5 grains of IMR 4350 than any other and were talking truckloads here.

I know that 4895 is one of the better powders for the '06 (in addition to 4350), but i've had excellent results with 4064 and 150's. 51-53grs has always given me good groups with velocities in the 2900 fps +/- range.

Mine likes IMR4350 with Hornady 150 SPs

My favorite is 62 grains of RL-19 with a 150 Ballistic Tip.

Here is a vote for IMR4350.

I got good results with most powders back when I was loading the 30-06 with 150 gr bullets, including IMR-4985, IMR-4064, IMR-4350 and Reloder 15. But my best accuracy and velocity was with Accurate 2700, with maximum loads around an inch and chrongraphing almost 2900 fps out of a 20 inch barrel. Haven't heard of very many people using Accurate 2700 in their '06's, but it sure worked in mine.

IMR 4064

The one I can buy the cheapest. I brought a bunch of imr 4064 at 6bucks a lb shot that all up. Then I got a hold of a bunch of bal c2 at 5bucks a lb.shot that all up. As in a bunch I am talking 30 to 40lbs of the stuff.

Now I am shooting surplus wc844 and wc852 they work fine also. The only thing I can say is I wish I would of had the money to buy hundreds of lbs at the right price instead of 30 or 40 lbs.

Same here IMR4064

In the Browning Continental o/u the IMR 4320 and 4350 were tied for accuracy and regulation.

I started off reloading 30-06 and used 4064. Some 37 years later,my gunsmith/friend showed me in his old Lyman manual that 4350 was listed as the accuracy powder. He further elaborated that it is THE ONE. I tried it and 4064 does better in my gun.

51.7 imr 4064

For a long time I thought that IMR 4064 was best for 150 gr. bullets in the 30-06. But recently I tried H 414, and I now think it may be best, at least in my rifle.

Varget gave excellent accuracy in my rifle with 150 gr. bullets, but at a sacrifice of about 150 f.p.s. of velocity from what I can get with IMR 4064 or H 414.

Mine likes H-414,but does A-ok with others, so if there is "THE Powder" for the '06 I ain't found it yet.

Any of you ever tried H380 w/ the 150s?

Hogdons website shows it getting over 3000 fps w/ reasonable pressures. I have only used H380 in 30-30 win and some 180grn 30-06 loads.

Might be a good powder to try.

61.5 grain and same weight Nosler Partition.

My favorite load for the 30/06 is 51.2gr. or 52.0gr. of IMR4064 with a 150gr. bullet. Every rifle in this caliber in which I have used either of these loads have shot at least MOA.

I have to go along with 52 gr of IMR4064. That load has shot well in every '06 I've tried it in. IMR4350 does provide better velocity, though.

i find that in my rem 7400 30-06 51.5gr h414 150gr speer spritz works great for me

My favorite 150 grain bullet & powder in the .30/06 Sprg. is:

Remington 150 gr. Bronze Point

62 grains of H-4350.

Try it - you'll like it!

I like 51 to 55 gr of AA 4064.
