30-06 load

[squirrelduster]

We are planning on working up a load for my brothers 30-06 with a 24" 1:10 twist.
Any recommendations on powder to try with a 180 grain Accubond?

Thanks in advance.

Great choice of bullet, so use a powder between IMR 4350 and Reloader 22, set length for magazine and function, then work up. Some powders will be much better in the barrel than others. In my '06 Ackley IMR 4831 is the most accurate, while R22 is the fastest. IMR 4350 was a standard for many years and should not be discounted from an acuracy point of view. I use standard primers unless a charge weight exceeds 60 grains, or the temperatures are below 20 degrees F.

With a heavier bullet i'd stick with the slowest burning powder you can get.
