Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 30-06 pet loads

IMR 4350? I have some 180 hornadys loaded up with you load data for Imr 4350. Trying it out in my husky in 30-06

One of the rifles i sold you, loved that load. It was one of the 5 rifles i took that time. The load im talking about used the 165 sp hornady interlock. I've all but switched to the 200gr partition in the good ol 06, but I'm thinking I should revisit that load in one of my newer 30-06 rifles and see how it does. I trust that load more than I trust a rifle. If the rifle doesn't shoot that load well, there's probably no hope for said rifle....

L-train that rifle like rl 22 and 167 gr e-tip as well..

Today I shot some ladder loads using four different 150gr bullets and Big Game powder. They all liked 56.0gr the best. Maybe I'm onto something here!

Also shot 57gr of IMR4350 and the Berger 168gr H-VLDs. Amazing accuracy...

Thanks, Dinny

55-56.5 gr R17, 165 ballistic tips or 165 hrnady btsp interlock bullets.

57-58 grains of 4350 and a 165gr should do it. I would gladly use Hodgdon 4350, but IMR has been slightly more accurate for me.

IMR4350 with a 130gr ttsx seems to be the whitetail death ray in my old 30-06

59 grains of reloader 22 and a 180 grain speer hot cor.

I like 130's in my '06's over 59 gr. Big Game. Have used 130 Horn, not the varmint version.

If a 130 C&C will blow thru a WT chest, may not need heavier. Good exit hole, good blood flow, lots of internal damage, mostly DRT.

They fly fast, hit hard and are surprisingly accurate.

I'm sure the TTSX 130 will work well, just haven't tried them in the '06.

That rifle is not picky man. Im glad you have it.take care of the old girl.

nosler partition 180. lapua brass. 210m. h4350. or lots of powders.

I'll say this.. one can't get enough 4831 SC in an 06 case to over pressurize the case or exceed SAAMI specs...

Thanks for these 06 loads, never been a fan, but looks like I'm buying a Weatherby Deluxe special run in 30-06. Love the data here

H414 and 165 Hornady BTSP

For years I used ( very little tweaking was required either) IMR 4350 with 59gr/150 Hornady Interlock, 58gr/165 SGK, 57gr/180 Sierra PH. Later in life I liked 60gr/R22/200 NP. Personally, I feel the 165/168 TTSX and 200 Partition in the 30-06 kill heavy game all out of proportion to their design/weight. But thats only for a limited sample. I am sure the 150 TTSX would kill the biggest bear/bison/moose too. For deer, I also like the 150 NBT/PT or Pro Hunter.

Every rifle is different. In my present 06 (TikkaT3X), 165 accubonds shoot 1/2” with 59.5g IMR4350. Velocity is a modest 2830fps on my chronograph. This barrel is slower than a couple 06s I’ve loaded for put it was stupid easy to find an accuracy node.

I always looked at 165s going 2800fps as "the goal". Anything over that is just that much more "goodness", !

Two of them, both out of M70.

165 SST over H4350
180 NAB over Re-17

57.5 grains of H4831 with a Nosler 200 grain Partition, Winchester cases, CCIBR2 primers. This load flat out works great on elk and mule deer, and should work just as well on most anything you would care to use it on. Expansion and penetration in one package.

A LOT of H4350 and a 180 Hornady.
