Last minute load advice

[Lrreloader]

Going to change directions with my remington 30-06 from 190 ablr to 152 hammers, for a back up gun to my 33 nosler for elk and mule deer hunt in Colorado.

Powder suggestions?

I'm reloading 200 rds for my buds 30-06. Tested 3 powders for a Sierra 150g GK...IMR4064 was the most accurate.

I also did 350 rds for his 6.5CM with 143 ELDXs...best accuracy was with H4350.

I understand it is a backup gun, but "if" load development for the 190 has been accomplished accordingly, leave it alone unless you think you have time for load development. I am not a big fan of last-minute changes. Load development for me is not a race regardless of component choice ... but that's just me.

One of my hunting partners shoots an '06 and his go to powder is IMR 4064. Hammer has great load data in regards to their Bullets. Great folks and support.

I have until end of October, my concerns about the 190s is how they will perform up close if the shot presents itself

Why would it not perform at close range? I used to hear that a lot with 215 Bergers, and my personal experience says otherwise.

But if you feel strongly about it, go for it.

I dont know one way or another, but a bullet design to open up at lower speed wasn't sure what it would do

Feenix has been around, lots of experience, he is worth listening too, my opinion.
