The load that I found when I first started reloading was

150 gr SP, RP cases, CCI-200, and 52 gr RL-15

The 165 load that shoots really well out of my M-1996 Mauser is

165 gr SST, RP cases, CCI-200, and 61 gr RL-19 (chronos up to 2950 fps)

The load that I worked up for pigs was

180 gr RN Interlock, RP cases, CCI-200, and 54 gr H-414 (I did this to burn up the last of my supply of that powder, and while it worked ok accuracy-wise my rifle is capable of better, I just haven't gotten around to playing with it much yet)

I'm currently playing with a new rifle and experimenting w/ H-4895 and 165s, as well as RL-15 and 165s. Based upon what I've seen so far the H-4895 is going to be no-more in my cabinet and a 5lb cannister of RL15 will be on the "to buy" list.

RL15 is da bomb in so many cartridges that I've taken to using it even when another powder might give more FPS. It is very consistent accuracy-wise, and that is my standard for most loads.

I use it for 150 and 180 grain bullets, along with IMR4350. I also use IMR4064 with 150 grain bullets.

I use 56.5 grs IMR 43350 and Hornady 165 btsp.
I chronyied these @ 2886 fps from a 22" Browning Safari grade.
This load at 300 yds. seems to outperform the .270 loads I was shooting.

Why wouldn't a .30-06 outperform ANY .270 load! smile

R15 and the 125 TNT

57/IMR 4350 with a 165 Sierra HPBT

IMR 4350 and a 180 Horn sp or Nozler Pt @ 26550-2700

I could easily take one very good .06 and hunt the world with this combo and never once worry. Course I'd worry less if it were a .270....grin

O! You blasphemer! laugh grin

I have a couple faves.

1. 57 gr of H414 with a 168 TSX - very accurate, and kills well.

2. 60 gr H4831SC with a 180 partition -- scary accurate!

3. 58 gr H4831SC with a 200 Accubomb.

Must be the slow barrel/fast barrel thing. I've never gone past 57 gr., it's taken deer out to 425 yds down to 7 yds with no trouble or complaints with a 165 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip. I also average just over 2800 fps with 56 gr. of H380 in the same rifle. Both loads shoot under an inch at 100 yds with a BT, AB, or PT 165 gr. bullet. The IMR 4350 load is what we use in my father's and BIL's .30-06 rifles as well. 3.389" OAL on the tip.

The Nosler #6 shows IMR4350 as their most accurate powder with 165-168 bullets. Starting at 53 grains and hitting 57 grains with 57 being their most accurate charge with this weight.

I've loaded this, but have not yet taken an animal with it.

52/4064/good 150 gr bullet (Sierra, NBT, etc.); consistently the first load I've used to determine if a 30-06 would shoot. Over 20 30-06 rifles over 35 years and it has always held true. This may not be the bullet weight you want, but you have a starting point in terms of the rifle's accuracy or lack thereof.

57.5/IMR 4350/165 gr Nosler Partition; one of the best hunting loads for 30-06 I've ever seen, accurate as well in most rifles. Many DRT on deer, including several very large mule deer, complete penetration through chest of elk (x2).

55/IMR4350/180 gr. Nosler Partition; outstanding accuracy, great killing power on large animals.
