Does anyone have a favorite load for the 165 GMX in the 30-06? I do not have the latest Hornady loading manual. Can it be loaded like the 165 Interlock? Thanks Larry Larry "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading" -- Thomas Jefferson | ||

8th edition Hornady manuals shows all 165 and 168 gr bullets in the same loading table. -- Promise me, when I die, don't let my wife sell my guns for what I told I her I paid for them. | |||

My favorite loads for the 30-06 with 165 grain bullets are: 55.3 grains of H414, WWLRP, OAL of 3.25" and 46.7 grains of H4895, CCI 200, OAL of 3.26" The H4895 load shoots to .5" at 100 yards and the H414 shoots to .625" at 100 yards. Speer, Sierra, Lyman, Hornady, Hodgdon have reliable reloading data. You won't find it on so and so's web page. | |||

I posted this on your other thread:
Bren7x64 Can you confirm: does your Hornady #8 manual actually show the GMX? I ask because Hornady was not recommending their standard data be used with the GMX in the past. Hornady's #9 manual is supposed to have data for the GMX. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure."

But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Hornady 9th Edition Manual also has the GMX listed with all the other 165 grain bullets. Hornady's web site says this about the GMX: "Compatible with conventional reloading data" The GMX is made out of the same material that bullet jackets are made from and not solid copper. Info says they load comparable to the Hornady SST. | |||

That is great "news"(I'm not really up on such things, obviously...). The GMX is a great bullet. I am going to use them exclusively in my 30-06 and 270.

Yup - seven bullets there of which the first is the GMX. Also present are Interbond, SST, AMAX, SP, BTSP and BTHP. -- Promise me, when I die, don't let my wife sell my guns for what I told I her I paid for them. | |||

Thanks guys. That's what I was hoping. As always, I will start lower and work up. I picked up 150 of the GMX bullets and just had not had time to load them until now. Larry "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading" -- Thomas Jefferson | |||
