H4831 SC in 30-06

[Boomer454]

Does anyone know what the Min and Max loads are for a 30-06 using Hornady 150 grain SP, and Hogdon 4831 SC?
I am using CCI standard primers.

I have a Hornady manual, but it is from before the time of Hogdon's new extreme powders.

Can you substitute data from the original H-4831 for the new Short Cut stuff?

Thanks in advance.

h4831 and shortcut are the same powder. use the 4831 data for both

Go to Hodgons website and you wil find data for all thier powders.

They say you can sub data, but it is always wise to work up when chaning components

If I were going as light as 150 in the 06,I think I'd be goin 4350 on the powder. Just my opinion

I agree 100% on the use of 4350 for 150 grainers. For 165's I use RL22. Deadly accurate poison in my Sako.

I doubt you could get enough H4831 into a .30-'06 case to cause high pressuse with a 150 grain bullet.

I have done alot of loading for the 150gr -06 and the best load i came up with is 60.5gr of H4350 foe 3000fps, or H414 is another good powder.

I agree with Splatter.

I've found that 61.5 grains of H4831SC is accurate with a 165-grain bullet, and the pressures are very mild. Personally, I'd go with a faster powder for a 150-grain bullet in .30-06.

If I had to use this powder with a 150-grain bullet, I'd start with Winchester brass because it holds more powder. I'd try loads between 58 and 63 grains.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD I RECOMMEND THESE LOADS FOR A GARAND!!!

Excellent point, I'd expand that to include any piston-type gas-op autoloader.

I loaded 4831 sc for awhile because it metered nicely and has some temperature stability. Switched to IMR 4350 and won't go back. Also I prefer 180 gr in my 06. 150 is great in .308win. Happy hunting.
