Nosler 165 BT or Partition - Superformance

[sobo4303]

I am wanting to start loading 30-06 cartridges with the 165 Nosler Ballistic Tips and Partitions with the Hodgdon Superformance powder. Has anybody tried this combo?

The online resources are limited, even on the Hodgdon website. Just want to begin to refine an existing load rather than start from scratch.

I suspect you will end up using H4350 powder with a 165 gr bullet in a 30-06. I've loaded several different bullets in several different 30-06 rifles and every one of them preferred H4350.

The load my son uses in his Sako 75 is a 168 gr TSX, 58 gr of H4350, Fed 210m primer and RP brass. Very accurate, 2875 average on a chronograph, kills everything from mice to moose.
