30-06 and IMR 4350

[alaska]

How many use the old load of 58.0 of IMR 4350 with 180gr Nosler Part in WW brass in the 30-06 ?

 

[RegionRat]

Well, does 57.5 with a 165 SGK count?

That is a darn hot load! Some bolt rifles will not take that much pressure without very difficult extraction. My 700 likes that load with 180g Ballistic tips, but I think that 56.0g is the normal load.

With this load 2 must !
WW cases and flat based bullets not Boat Tail
56.0 is a good load with 180

Across the bottom of one of Moses stone tablets there was a string of numbers.
435043006. No one knew what it meant for thousands of years.

57.0 IMR 4350 with both 165 Sierra GK and 180 Nosler Parttion. Both have killed elk, mule deer, whitetail, mulies, and antelope.
I remember the 165s crank along at 2,933 fps out of my 1950 Win Mdl 70 with 24" barrel. Can't remember what the 180 does. Will have to dig my notes out.
Both loads have shot under 1 " out of every gun I've tried including Winchester (2), Remington (4 including a 760, but a bit hot for it), Savage (3), and a sporterized Enfield.

I used IMR 4350 for a short time and then switched to H4350. 56.5 gr

I've used 58.0grs of IMR4350 for 165-168gr bullets.58grs is a little on the hot side with 180gr bullets,but in colder weather,maybe it's OK.I like Reloader26,Reloader22 and Hunter with 180gr bullets.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR .30-06.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR .30-06 by John Barsness http://www.24hourcampfire.com/newsletters/May_2009.html TODAY THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE of most handloaders seems to be accuracy, with muzzle velocity closely behind, though we still run into guys who claim to get 100 or even 200 ft/sec more than…

I have used something very near that load with H4350 & 180 Sierra SBT. Shot well in my MOD 70 Classic and was to hot for my REM 700 MTN rifle.

Hot or cold, 56 grains of IMR 4350 has been my go to for 40 years. 165 grain bullet. Not any real need to run it hotter.

For about 50 years, one of my 30-06 loads has been 56.5gr of IMR 4350 with a 165gr Sierra GK-BTSP or HP at 2,800fps. Back then, I pushed it to 60gr and hit 3,000fps in that rifle with the 165GK, but groups were not as good as I wanted. So, I went back to the best groupings at 200yds with 56.5gr.

That load has taken untold game and a few varmints.

55.5 grains 4350 and 165 grain SGK. Loaded for six rifles, all 30-06, all six shot MOA or better at 100 yards.

55.7 Grns IMR 4350 with a 165 SST in Winchester cases, with Win LR Primers, in my short 20 inch BBL 30-06 Lab Radar give me an average of around 2600 fps and 56 0 Grns of IMR 4350 also with the 165 Grn, SST in my friend's 24 inch BBL rifle. Mild loads for sure, but accurate! Next year I will test their loads in steps , up to 57.0 grns.
