[QUOTE="randonee, post: 2057306, member: 116638"] First post. Thank you to everyone who’s contributed information on loading these. Here is my info from loading 162’s for a 30-06. My goal was to develop a decently fast load with a powders I already have on hand, H4350 and H Varget. I have a standard mag box, so I couldn’t go too long. Fieldcraft with 24” barrel. Velocities via Magnetospeed. One round per charge weight. 36 degrees F, but rounds kept it vehicle. 30-06 162 Absolute Hammer Win cases Fed GM215M Col 3.36 H4350 56 grains 2878fps 56.4 2901 56.8 2908 57.2 2953 57.6 2968 58.0 2971 58.4 2966 compressed Varget 49.0 grains 2740fps 50.5 2839 51.5 2866 52 2904 52.5 2940 53.0 2923 53.5 2988 54 3004 54.5 3032 55.0 3033 55.5 3077 very faint ejector mark, need 8x loop to really see 56.0 3085 same as above ejector make. Case not full. Final Load: I loaded several at 54.6 grains to get more velocities and test accuracy. The velocities were 3030, 3032, 3030, 3038. Without magnetospeed installed I shot two, four-shot groups. One was 0.43” and the other 0.29”. I’m happy with the load. I wanted to get over 3100, but this is my first time going this far above book loads, and it was as far as I wanted to push it. Hodgdon lists the max load for a 165 grain bullet at 50.5 grains (less than that for a mono bullet). [/QUOTE]
