thanks, notropis; I just want to make sure that when the shell is in the all the way, that the bullet in the throat is as close to the lands as I can get and still function correctly;
friend of mine uses 4064 in his 30-30 loads, but I also see that
IMR 4895 (the original 30-06 powder is good), plus several others;
I am picking you all's brains so I can get a good starting point;
many guys out there have done this, especially with a 30-06 for obvious reasons;
By the way, mine is a Belgium made grade 2, and shoots almost as good as my 22-250 in my old REM. 788 bolt;
