[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1870063, member: 97414"] Varget will work for the 6.5/06 behind the 140gr bullets,,, but its pretty hot powder with fast burn rate... Start low at 36.8gr,,, keep a eye on the cases when you close in on the 39gr... 40 ish to 41.2gr is max in my 65... Thick Lapua 30/06 brass necked down to 6.5/06... 1:8 twist 25" non lapped barrel... Fairly tight bore on this rifle... Ive tested the H4831 and IMR4350,,, those powders will work too... H1000 is my go to powder 52 to 53 max,,, 2980 ft-per seconds... The accuracy loads are 50.2 to 50.5 gr of H1000 behind the 140 to 143gr bullets... 2710 ft-per seconds... The next lower nod just below the max loads,,, a lot less flash burn on the throat,,, and no streched cases from over-loads... This was a copy-cat load from my 140gr 270 winchester loads I've worked up... I hope I can get a few more jugs of H1000 ,,, RL powders are challenging to get up here in our area... [/QUOTE]
