Anyone want to share their favourite accurate loads? I have IMR4320, IMR3031 in copious quanity onhand (however that won't limit me)

I generally use 180's for Hunting all-round and 165 for flat out shooting at greater distances (putting the fear of God in the deer that won't come in close :lol: )

My 'Smith likes to use 49 grain of IMR4320 with 180 grainers....

I have used H380 in the past and produced good results.
 
For deer I used 47.2 grains of IMR 4320. It gave me 2470 fps and bang/flop performance. For moose, I upped it to 28.5 grains and 2630 fps. I shot 4 moose with this load and none went more than 50 yds.

I loaded 180 grain ballistic tips in my Remington 742's and Remington 760 carbine.

I'm not a good enough shot to be able to test accuracy reliably, but I was always confident that I would hit what I was aiming at.
 
60 grains of Reloder 22 under a 180 grain Ballistic Tip, Accubond, or Scirocco. 8) This should give you ~2800 fps out of a 22" barrel.
 
Just for soft and fluffy whitetail deer (or target shooting), if you have the desire to use plain old 150 grain winchester PSPs, a very accurate load, is 48.0 grains of
IMR 3031......and yes I am a cranky, old, conservative, reneck, 30 odd 6 reloader.
This handload gave me an excellent group at 300 yards.
 
Thanks to everyone for their input, keep it coming... Some interesting loads

I tried a new load based on 51 grains of IMR4320 with 165 Hornady Interlocks, CCI primers.... yielded 1/8 - 1/2 groups at 100 yards... (yeah blame some of that variation on the shooter :roll: ) out of my 7600 Remington Pump. I gotta try 'em in a bolt action.....

Anyway I am ready for da deer. :lol:

I have another load to share for all those few who shoot a .356 Winchester..... Try 46 grains of IMR3031 with 180 grain Speer FN's Really nice, Really accurate.
 
My favorite .30-06 load is similar to 'Boo's..... a 180 partition over reloader 22. I've chrony'd it at just over 2800 fps out of my 22 inch Rem. 700.

Yes, absolutely, they are well established powders for the 30-06. Also very versatile powders to have around.

I've gotten good results lately with a 180 gr. Partition over 45.0 grains IMR 4895. 1/2" at 100 yds on a 4 shot grouping out of my Sako 75 S/S with 22" bbl. The only problem is the velocity - only getting between 2450-2500 fps on the chrony. Would like it up around 2700 fps but will have to try a different powder I guess. BTW, I first tried working up a load using IMR 4064 and the 180 gr Partitions and the rifle didn't like it all that well - was lucky to get 2" groupings at 100 yds.
 
Big Bull said it all ,The 165 noslers with those powders I had a 3006 Rem Hart 26" barrel 165gr 3000ftps and it tacked
