My favorite 30-06 loads are:
1) 150 grain bullets - 52 grains of IMR 4064
2) 165-168 grain bullets - 57 grains of IMR 4350
3) 180 grain bullets - 58 grains of Hunter.

The first two loads have been quoted by several gun writers - Ken Waters, John Barsness to name two. The last comes from Barsness, and I tried it - it's a good one. It shot great in my Tikka M695 with 1 in 11" twist. I loaded the second one for two friends who don't handload. They were happy with the results. I loaded Barnes 168 grain TSXs for them.
