Got some 155 scenars I wanna try in my 22inch barreled 30-06. I've got varget and imr
4350. Which one should I try first?
IMR4350
If you run across some RL17, give that a try.

Varget, that is what the Palma shooter use for the 800, 900, and 1000 yard competition with 155 grain bullets. IIRC they use 46.3 grains but work up your load.

I don't think you have the correct cartridge in mind. The 30-06 is the one in play.
Another powder to try, if you can get your hands on some, is Ramshot Big Game.
Mathman you are correct I did get the cartridges mixed up. I'm with the IMR 4350 use with this combo.
I've got some big game also.
Do you have IMR 4064? Good stuff in the'06 & .308Win.

X2 on the RL17. RL19 works good also.
Bryant,
Sometimes Big Game works a little better with magnum primers, even with 150's in the .30-06. But you may have to cut the max load a little. Right now I'm loading 56.0 grains with Federal 215's and 150 Nosler AccuBonds, and getting superb accuracy right around the top velocity in Ramshot's data, a little over 3000 fps. Ramshot's max charge is 57.5 with 150 AB's.
57.8 gn big game did pretty good about a one inch group. I may play with seating depth and see if they will tighten up. Most likely I'll stick with my trusty sierra 165 gk's.
