30-06 hunting loads

[JeffreyDeGraff]

I have always found something to be happy about IMR 4064 or Varget. I lean on Varget the most. I have stayed in the 165gr category for awhile with SST’s, Sierra Gamekings, and Hornady GMX. Haven’t played with my .30-06 in a while but have been happy with the performance of these combinations with everything but the SST’s. They shot accurately but after using that bullet in other rifles I quit using them altogether.

I know a lot of people use 4064 and 4895 out of their 30-06’s. Ive never tried a powder with a burn rate faster than IMR4350 in mine. I guess in all my loading I tend to gravitate towards the slower burning powders per bullet weight.

I was a scrawny kid with a too-light .30-06 so I went with middleweight charges of faster burning powders and lighter bullets to manage recoil. Shot like a .308
