[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1626002, member: 60453"] I like varget, too, but not for the 30-06 with heavier bullets. Its max charge for the 180 grain bullet is 47 grains, which doesn't come close to filling the casing. And I wouldn't want to shoot elk with less than a 165 to 200 grain bullet in this cartridge. The lighter bullets just don't get the penetration I want on animals as big as elk. Also, the larger powder charges if the medium powders fill the casing better, and get a better, more even burn. Which makes them more accurate. I use varget in my 6 mm remington and my .308, though. It works really well in them. Another powder I'm beginning to experiment with in 30-06 is Superformance. I haven't used it enough for an opinion yet. [/QUOTE]
