[QUOTE="vedauvoo, post: 2486334, member: 47024"] I called Steve. Great guy. He answered the phone! And all of my questions. Here's what I learned from him: 1. You are right. He thought a slower powder in the H4831 range would be good. He also agreed that RL-26 is a good pick. 2. He explained that the newer, more efficient rounds like the 30 Nosler don't benefit from the AH design as much as the more traditional rounds like the 30-06, 280 AI, 270. 3. For shooting long with something like the 30 Nosler, switching to the 180 gr Hammer Hunter is a better choice. The BC advantage of the HH outweighs the MV advantage of the AH at longer distances. 4. Benefits of the AH drop off as the caliber goes up. So my plan is to switch to the 180 gr HH and work up a solid 30 Nosler load. And now the 30-06 in the back of my gun safe seems shiny and seductive. I think I'll mess with it and the 151 and/or 162 AH. Plenty of solid data on that round in the spread sheet. Thanks GLTaylor!
