swheelerYes; I don't think you are ever going to reach 24,000 fps, kinda FAST, 42-45 gr 4895, any flavor, will get you close, got a chrono.

nordrsetaKen Waters Pet Loads has data for 30/30 duplication loads for the 30'06. So does the Lyman Cast Bullet handbook. I've used IMR4198, RL7, and IMR3031 to make "30/30'06" loads using 150 Remington roundnose softs intended for the 30 WCF.

SlamFireI loaded thousands of 168 SMK 42.0 IMR 4895 LC cases, WLR and got 2450 fps in the 30-06. This load was very accurate at 200 yards. I am certain that your 170 grain bullet would go a little slower.

seafire2Try 32 grains of IMR 4198 or RL 7...
about 30 grains of SR 4759 from IMR will work out superbly also...
H 4895 is too finicky for accuracy.. unless you want to mess around with it, trying to get it to shoot...be my guest...

42.5gr. N201-2400fps.
43gr.N202-2400fps.
41gr. H335-2400fps.
these loads were predicated on a 26" barrel.
