I reload for .30-06 and currently use N150 for 150 gr. roundnose Hornady's and N160 for 200 gr. Nosler Partition. (both powders 54 grains)

Is there anyone with other proven recipes for these powders and bulletweights in .30-06?

I first bought V-V powder at a gun show because the price was right. That was 3N-37 and it worked so well and was so clean in the pistols, I tried other V-V powders.
I absolutely love N-160 and Berger 185s in 30-06. It is also the powder that brought my 7 Rem mag and 160 partitions to 3100fps without indication of excess pressure, something a half dozen other powders wouldn't do.
Why am I impressed? At first I was skeptical of double based powders, and was less than impressed with RL19 and RL22. Both gave pressure indications way before velocity expectation were met, not so with the V-V powders.
