Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Best loads for 3006 180gr Bullet

I just bought an Ed Brown Savanna in 30'06. I wanted to go the 165/168gr TSX route. Now I know to try the H4350 and the Ramshot Hunter. Really excited about having an '06 again!

Thanks for the info,

n007,

So far I've tried the 58.0 load in three rifles, with 4 different bullets. I just seat them about .03 off the lands, depending on the rifle.

Most Ramshot powders do better with a magnum primer, whether in cold or warm weather, in any case bigger than 50 grains.

AZ Southpaw I think your group is fine I made a mistake in my post that I showed target with a tight 3 shot group with RL 19 the group was shot using 168 speer gold match, I usually shoot the Nosler BT to test loads and then load with Nosler Partitions for hunting Mostly moose , bears & whitetails we get some large whitetails 250to 300lbs. and I want to add that the Rem 700 is pillar bedded with accuglass, trigger is at 2 lbs and useing a Target scope with a 1/4 dot, plus brass was firefromed,neck turned, benchrest primers etc,
Ihave never shot real tight groups with partitions i don't beleive its posible as they just don't fly like aa a match bullet

A little quicker powder is noticeably gentler on the shoulder.

i used to run that 47.5/4064-180-grain hndy load in an NEF '06. did right well, i do believe.

I had a lot of Accurate 3100 that needed burning up, so I worked up to 60.5 grains (a case full!) with a 180 PowerPoint and found it doing just slightly under 2700 fps averaging 1.5". Worked fine on W/T on down to coyotes but 4350 is easier to load.
