Anyone using Speer 180's in their 30.06?
What powder(s) are you using?
Dean (scope eye), I think I got these from you. What were you using if they were being used in a '06?

48.2 gr. of IMR 4064. the best group out of my Ruger is .73 at 100 yds.

OK here we go
H 4831 60gr
hybrid HV100 58gr
H4350 58gr
RL17 58gr
All those will produce 2700+ fps
58 to 60gr!!!!Quote:

4064 worked pretty good for ya' eh? I may try it. I notice my '06 seems to do better with powders that are slower than 4064 - Like 4350 & RL19.Quote:

Go get some sleep...
My dog was barking at a who goes there, a raccoon I suspect.

That is one of the main catalyst to my high velocity approach, a compressed load of a slower powder, instead of lesser volume of a faster powder.
Dean
Sounds logical. Perhaps the next time I feel like living on the edge or a little experimentation or even gettin' funky with the cheez wiz, I'll have a go at it.
Somewhere along the line during my reload "apprenticeship" I recall an old timer frequently mentioning "save your shoulder & the barrel. Load only what you need for a consistently accurate load". I guess that's the rule of sort that's embedded in my brain. Time for a little reprogramming?
Thanks again.
what for?
Not sure what you mean.Quote:

From what my Lyman book says & what Dean tells me & now this guy above (guhunter) 2800fps seems to be the magic speed for these.
I got some additional info from Deano on these that I'm going to try.
If you see me on the news with my face all black & smoky, you'll know it didn't work.
You mean like Wile E Coyote.:crazy::der:Quote:
