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?

OK here we go
H 4831 60gr
hybrid HV100 58gr
H4350 58gr
RL17 58gr
All those will produce 2700+ fps
RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
58 to 60gr!!!!Originally Posted by scope eye
Did you hammer the bullet in?
with the long bullet & all that powder, did the sides of the case bulge?

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.
Thanks.

When seating the bullet easy does it, those powders compress very well, or get as close to that amount as you can, or feel comfortable loading, I fit 65gr of Varget into an 30-06 case and compress 110 Vmax's, and 110 Sierra's HP with no problem on a regular basis.

You posted this at 0330hrs?.... Don't you ever sleep?
Maybe I'll get ambitious & try a little load compressing. I never was a big fan of it but maybe it's time to take it to the next level. Thanks for the input.
Go get some sleep...

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.

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.

My standard hunting load for a 30-06 (from John Barsness) is 58 grains of ramshot hunter behind a 180 (I'm using partitions). Gets just a bit north of 2800 in 2 rifles and good accuracy in both.
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.
