Did some shooting today and I dont think Ill be going back to 4350 in my 06.

Tried some W760 today with some very promising results. The bullet was a 180 grn hdy interlock, Rem brass, 22" bbl. WMLR primer.

5 Loads varying from 54.5 to 55.5 grains were .760 moa.

54.5 grns=2648

54.6= 2690
55 = 2706
55.5= 2766
55.5= 2774

I also found that strangley enough, a CCI 220 primer consistently yeilded roughly 50 fs more velocity than the magnum primers and will experiment with that more for accuracy when time allows.

I really liked the difference in fouling with 760 too, 4350 made a mess of my bbl and the ball powder hardly foulded it at all.

You said you gotten alot of fouling with IMR 4350? I never see that in mine? Granted I'm stuck in the IMR 4350 rut-have not tried any thing else yet- but it's been hard to find lately so I might have to use another powder her soon. With my rifle I also see very consistant velocities with IMR 4350 as well-I've always used CCI primers. I stick with what works- but I might have to do some experimenting
