DanbroReminton 7400 in 30-06 pet loads
Just bought a Remington 7400 in 30-06. I have not done any loading for this specific rifle. If anyone has a pet load to share I would appreciate it. Thanks

Phil Brousseaui cant give you a pet load. my 700 likes 61 gr. of h4350 but that is to much powder for you to start with. every 30-06 i ever worked up loads for,and that is quite a few liked one of the 4350 powders. seat to fit the magazine and work up until you see what is accurate in your rifle watching the pressure. federal primers have always been good in my guns 210 or 210m. what bullet are you using?
When I had one it shot very well with 49gr. of 4064 and 165 Nosler BT. Shot well with 58gr. 414 and 150 gr. bullets also 150s well with 51.5 gr. R-15. Federal blue box 180s shot very well so I did not load any 180s.
