[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 647207, member: 42308"] What size SST? IMR 4350 is in the right burn rate range for the 06 with several bullet weights. IMO varget is a little on the fast side but still workable. I load the 150 SST .008" off the rifling with Reloder 17 right at 3,000fps in my 06 for consistent .6 MOA. With the 167 Lapua Scenar at 2,900fps it shoots .4 MOA consistently. Several folks have found acceptable accuracy using any of the 4350 powders with several different bullet weights. 30/06 can utilize a wide variety of powders depending on bullet weight. As previously posted I'd start about 20 thousandths off the rifling and move forward .005" until you find the best grouping and refine from there if you want to. You will most likely need to reduce the powder charge if you plan to seat the bullet so it lands righ on the rifling so initial pressure isn't outside the range of safe fun. In a factory gun you won't be able to notice .001" changes very readily, especially if you are still developing a load. Each rifle behaves a little differently tha's what makes it fun. YMMV [/QUOTE]
