Reduced 30-06 Load Range Report:
Shot some of my reduced loads over the chrono today. Here are the results:

Brass: Rem
Primer: CCI 250
Powder: Green Dot, 16 grains
Bullet: Speer 110 gr varminter JHP
Barrel length: 26"
Rounds Fired: 10
Avg Velocity: 2040 fps
Extreme spread: 11 fps
Standard deviation: 5.6 fps
Accuracy: 2.2" at 100 yards. Winds gusting to 15 mph at 8 o'clock.
Temp: 45 Farenheit

No pressure signs whatsoever. In fact the primers were noticeably "unflattened" compared to fired factory ammo. MM

Did you tip the rifle back to settle the powder in the case? Those results are very consistant except for the group. But it was windy.

I agree with the use of mag primers.

IMR 4759 was made for that purpose. It's bulky. I use kapox to hold the powder down.

No I didn't tip them back. I too was very surprised with the ES and SD. I seated the bullets to the cannelure. I am guessing that playing with the seating depth might bring it down to around an inch or so.

The 16 gr charge of green dot seems to fill almost half the case. MM

i use reddot, in all my light rifle loads, 30-30, .308, 30-06.
