165 SST in front of big game. I think 56 grains.
I’d have to look.
Think they got discontinued, Once I’m out of those I’ll probably go to game changers as they are affordable and I can use them on paper and deer.
For elk I only use ttsx
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

My best 06 loads came with I4350.. I used either 165 Sierra HPBT or 150 gr. Horn. SPBT... I loaded my last batch of 150s in 1982.. Tried a couple of them this fall, still accurate and killed a nice whitetail with my grandfathers .30-06!!!! Deer are not armor plated.. Cup and core works fine... And that, is the most difficult of messages to convey.............
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

The 200gr partition at 2700 fps in several 06's over the years, one bullet, one load, per rifle, makes life much simpler, will kill 60lb doe deer or a 1 ton bull moose, I like simple effectiveness. I need to give that one a shot with Partitions. I couldn’t get enough H4831SC in the case with a 200 AB and keep Bullets seated. Might have to try it RL17 or something that takes up less space. 59gr RL-22 is averaging 2725 in my latest '06, to get in enough H-4831SC a man needs to use a drop tube, those loads were in a pre-64 '06 at 3.340 inch, this Sako runs 3.360 inch, the h-4831 loads went to 2800 fps and were extremely accurate, brass held up very well at those pressures. I used a long one but the 200 ABs were just enough longer that I was danged near in the rifling in my P64 FWT while trying to keep them in place. The Partitions should be good. I’ll reengage this one though. 10-4 Big Buddy, I just put five 200gr partitions in a 3/4 inch circle at 100 yards, average 2726 fps, i'll take that all day any day for a 400 yard hunting rifle, this old Sako 30-06 is ready to go, shooting dew North with a 11 mph South wind kicking it in the butt, all good, clicked 6 right and 1 down after group and barrel cool down, had the last round hit dead center 3 inches high at 100. Ready for heavy African antelope, plains game, and anything here too. 
Trump Won!
