[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1997113, member: 69192"] My Hornady 9th edition lists 60.5 grains of 4350 for the 30-06. One of my most accurate, compressed loads, using 180 grain bullets is with 61 grains of 4831 [I][U]that is a compressed load[/U][/I]. Usually I will drop the powder into the funnel and then tap the outside of the case with a dowel or a pencil until the powder drops below the mouth of the casing and then seat the bullet. Is it a PITA yup, but...at the time [B][U][I]we could buy 4831 in wax bags for a $1.00 a pound[/I][/U][/B]. It takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it you'll get the powder into the case. I really like the idea about using an electric toothbrush, have to try that one. Take a look at Alliant RL-15 and RL-17 and Winchester 760 powder for the 150s in the 06, that powder ought to work better for you. [/QUOTE]
