[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1625630, member: 109113"] Either of those would be excellent, but I would lean toward the hodgdon powder for its insensitivity to temperature changes. I have used a ton of H4350 in both the standard 30-06 and the 30-06 Ackley. It is my preferred powder by far for both. It is also the powder I would start with for any new cartridge I start to load for that is based on the 30-06 case design. If I was going to do anything different at all, it would be to use H4831 with the 180-grain bullets. 100% load density is a good thing, and with that powder I doubt that you could get get enough of it in the case to hurt yourself. I've heard guys say to just scoop the case full and level it off with a straight-edge, then seat a bullet and go kill an elk. Don't think I'd go that far, but it would probably work. [/QUOTE]
