What loads will wo0rk in a Remington Semi with 150 grn bullets and give factory ballistics in a 22" bbl while still in the correct pressure curve. Thanks

Hardluck,
I assume that you are asking about a 30-06. The general rule for autoloaders is to pick a powder in the middle of the quickness range.

4895 and 4064 are recommended for the M1 Garand, and I would think that they would be appropriate for the 30-06 in a Remington. If its a 308, the same general advice applies, the middle!

Read up on reloading for the M1 Garand if you can because many of the remarks would be apprpriate for your rifle, ie, make certain the cartridge seats fully, use a hard primer, etc.

It is not about full house loads but reliable function and staying in the middle of powders, charges and bullet weights.

I'd initially set my resizing die up so that it just kisses the shoulder. After resizing, trim the case, and try that shell in a case size gauge. If you don't have a case size guage, take the barrel out of your rifle, and drop the unloaded, trimmmed,cleaned & wiped case into the chamber and made certain that it is fully seating. If it is not, screw the die down ahalf turn, and resize the case until a resized case fully seats. Then do process several cases and check them all. If they all fit, then you are good to go.

If a couple don't fit, check and see why (dented shoulders, etc.). You may want to resize those, or set them aside for a bolt gun load.

Be certain that you primers seat below the cartridge base. Any that stick up, re-process.

Be sure to check cases for signs of case separation because the extraction process in some rifles is pretty violent and stretches the case. This can lead to early case separation. Use a bent paper clip to check the area just above the case web for indications of a "dip."

Disgard any cases that have a pronounced dip.

Good luck. Kudude

First thing you need to do is to chronograph the factory load you are shooting to know what kind of performance you are trying to duplicate. You will probably what to invest in a small base sizing die. You will also want to observe the recommended OAL of the cartridge to insure reliable feeding.
