Pet .30-06 loads, anyone?

[trailrider121]

The Berger load sounds great. Specifics? COAL ? Off lands?

Sure no problem. The load is close to max for my rifle.

185 gr VLD Hunting
Winchester Brass / Full length
CCI-200
H4350 @ 57.0grs
COAL @ 3. 270"
OAL @ ogive 2.583"

I think my 185 VLDs are loaded with Varget or Re19 or both.

I tried 185 hybrids over 57grns Imr4350 and fed 210Ms at 3.497 which was .010" in the lands, it done ok, avg velocity was 2822 but ES was 18 and they shot just under .5moa at 100 yrds.

My rifle shoots 168 gr bergers very well with wolf LR primers, Lapua Brass, IMR 4831 @ 2900 .040" off. It took an antelope at 510 last year. I am however wanting to get into the 185 gr for obvious reasons. I am curious about the reloader 17. I tried both types of 4350 and did not yield good results. Has anyone shot H4831 with the 185s and have any data? I did not get any with my berger data from the company.
