I was wondering if anybody with a current Sierra manual could help me out. I have Sierra's 2nd ed. but I would like some updated info.
Could somebody share the listed charges for 30/06, 165 gr SBT (#2145) with IMR 4895, H335 (if they list it)?
Also the 220 gr RN (#2180) with the same powders?
Does the current manual use DuPont or "IMR" IMR powders?
I don't know how different IMR is from the old DuPont, I have heard 2 different stories on that one.<p>Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the info from Sierra's 4th edition 50th annivesary edition:<p>30-06 165gr Spitzer BT OR 165 gr HPBT<p>IMR 4895
41.6 2400 fps
43.6 2500 fps
45.7 2600 fps
47.8 2700 fps THIS IS IN GREY AND INDICATES THE MAX LOAD<p>They do not list H335<p>30-06 220 gr RN OR Matchking HPBT<p>IMR 4895
37.5 2100 fps
40.0 2200 fps
42.6 2300 fps THIS IS IN GREY AND INDICATES THE MAX LOAD<p>They do not list H335<p>As a personal note: if you are looking for potentially higher velocity IMR 4350 looks promising for both weight bullets.


Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.

When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.

PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

Thanks Blammer.
That is exactly what I needed.
I will eventually get around to using some different powders, but 4895 & H335 is all that I have on hand at the moment.<p>Thanks again.
