You shooting the bolt action rifle or the Ljungman? Some of the guys on here reccomend a faster burning powder for the ljungman.

IMR 4350 - 140/160 grain bullets for my old swede. For fun you can load it up as a varmit rifle 85 gn. Sierra over 3031. great accuracy.

Trail boss has worked well for me and fun target loads.

I've been wondering about lighter bullets in the Swede, do they stabilize well? I've got a few hundred 100gr and a few 129gr Hornady's which could make good 'yote or groundhog rounds.

I really like Reloader 22 in the Swede with 125, 129 and 140 grain bullets. H4831 can give almost the same performance in a hunting load and is very consistent if used in very cold temps. With the Swede, brass quality plays a significant part if seeking higher pressure loads. I would suggest Lapua however Norma and Winchester are ok.

IMR 4350 is a great .30-06 powder and I use it for either 165 or 180 grain loads. Reloader 22 is sometimes used with 190 grain boattails. H4831 can also do with the heavier bullets.

I have always used standard primers with these combinations. It should be noted that very good hunting loads are my quest so Nosler partitions and Hornady interlocks have usually been fired.

6.5 x 55 4831Sc, RL22 H1000, 4350

For 3006, with heavier bullets, 4831sc would also work well. 4350 would work in both, but if you do a lot of shooting, it is hard on barrels.

Although not the best velocity wise, my Husky '38 loves IMR-3031. H414 is pretty good too.
