Chase, back to addressing the content of your original question.
You haven't said much out the intended purpose of this rifle, so I'll presume typical medium games such as deer hunting. With short barrels, you will get some variance regarding what powders perform the best, but typically it's not enough to worry about until you get below standard carbine lengths. Still sometime I go just a bit warmer on short barrels to reduce the fireball and such.

The 150gr NBT will serve well in most roles in your rifle. The biggest problem you would have with this combination is finding a powder that does NOT work. There are many good candidates to choose from. Two I'd consider are CFE-223 and IMR-4895. I would also expect Shooters World Match Rifle to yield good results at only 2/3rd the price.

Here's the list of powders Quick Load predicts to produce velocities of at least 2700fps. Of course, this is simulated data, so start low and work up, but you have a lot to choose from.

Code
Cartridge          : .30-06 Spring.  (SAAMI)
Bullet             : .308, 150, Nosler BalTip 30150
Useable Case Capaci: 60.345 grain H2O = 3.918 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
Barrel Length      : 18.0 inch = 457.2 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 59000 psi, or 406 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

66 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 75%. These powders have been skipped.

It would be very interesting to see a companion chart with the results on a 22" barrel to see if anything changes beside MV.

Here it is for 22" barrel:

Code
Cartridge          : .30-06 Spring.  (SAAMI)
Bullet             : .308, 150, Nosler BalTip 30150
Useable Case Capaci: 60.345 grain H2O = 3.918 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
Barrel Length      : 22.0 inch = 558.8 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 59000 psi, or 406 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

66 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 75%. These powders have been skipped.

Yay Seafire...there is no problem in the gun universe that can not be solved with a judicious dose of good ol' 3031.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Try one of the youth loads, will for sure reduce the "fireball". That said 4 inch groups at 50 yards could easily be a loose scope mount or a bad scope. This said I have had guns that flat would not shoot from a lead sled and that is why I no longer own one.

Thanks antelope sniper. It is interesting that most burn about 1-1.5% more while IMR-4350 and H-414 burns 2% more in the 22" barrel.

Chase, Here's a link to a similar thread I started a few years ago. Bottom line, I put a soft towel over the front rest and held the fore end in my left hand. The load I use(d) is 55 grains of IMR 4350 with a 180 grain Hornady RN. YMMV.
