Best powder for 30-06

[Rotaxpower]

Hey all, I havnt posted here for ever! But any who, I want to start to load my 06 for the best potential accuracy I can get. I would like to stick with 165grn or bigger. I will be using this load mostly for moose, and deer. Does any one have any recomended powders, or loads for me to try? Thanks all!

My pet load is 57 grn of IMR 4350 over CCI 250 primers and 165 grn Hornady Interbonds. Very accurate, and more than deadly!!

A compressed load of IMR 4831 is hard to beat.

ditto and 55gr for 180 I/B.

Mine is H4895 and 165 gr Hornady SST. H4350 comes in second, but in my 30-06 and the 165gr'ers the H4895 stands out at 200 and 300 meter accuracy.

A compressed load of IMR 4831 is hard to beat.

X2, for 180 and up.

58 gr of H4350, fed 210m primer and a 168 gr Barnes TSX, likely moose killer, certainly Zebra, kudu etc killer.

I find that RL 19 is a good powder for my 30-06 with a variety of bullet weights.

These days I go with Vihtavuori N560. It gives the best combination of velocity and accuracy.

H4350 or IMR 4350, Fed 210, 165 or 180 Hornady SST bullets
