[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 614857, member: 5302"] For what it's worth, when the .30-06 was "the" rifle for competitive high power shooting up to 600 yards with 165 to 180 grain bullets, IMR4064 consistantly gave the best accuracy in handloads. With 190 and 200 grain bullets, IMR4350 was the ticket to top scores. Ball powders were often tried, but none came close to what extruded powders produced for accuracy. The above aside, higher muzzle velocities can be had with slower powders, but typically with some sacrifice in accuracy. Shoot at least 15 shots per test group. Anything less is not significantly meaningful; 5 shot groups are only 50% reliable for what all shots fired with the load used will shoot. [/QUOTE]
