I am wanting to load some 100gr. Hornady half jackets for my 30-06. Does anyone have any load data for these? I'm looking to stay around 1200-1500 fps. I have plenty of Unique & Red Dot on hand & was going to try using one of those. What kind of primer should I use? I wouldn't mind using Trail Boss either if I could find some data for it.

I loaded up some Speer 100gr Plinkers in 308 for my 11 year old Nephew.
16.7 of SR4759 was the best load. We both could tell the difference in recoil and noise between it and the 18 gr load.

The loads were very accurate and worked great for practice and on turtles.

In the 30-06 I would start with 16gr of SR 4759.

With Unique I would start with 9.5gr of Unique for about 1330fps.

My Speer book shows the 100gn Speer plinker in 30-06 reduced load as 16.0 gn of SR4759 for 1548fps and 20.0 gn SR4759 at 1960fps. COL at 2.935". All the other loads are above 2800fps.
