Quickload help .30-06

I uses the Speer Grand Slam bullet in 200g for this data
56gr for 100% case fill

NOTE: the barrel length is 5" in this data. 22" 2 posts down.

What’s the bullet weight? 3100 is pretty slow for 30-06. More of a magnum powder. Should work fine with heavy bullets in the 30-06 though (180 and up).

Burn rate is in between N160 and Norma 205. I’d just start with a reduced load in this range and work up in 10% increments until I see pressure signs or until I find a good one.

Sorry. That didn’t really answer your question, but with no reputable published load data, and with no bullet listed in your question, it’s really all you can do.
 
another QL chart for reference

I adjusted start pressure to 8000psi which would simulate about .100" off the lands. This brings the predicted powder charge for max psi down quite a bit and should align closer to reality than the default program start pressure of 3626psi which would be more like 1/4" of freebore

Looks like it's about bang on with Ganderite's post above!

C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
