Tikka T3 Lite 3006 - anyone with a good load in 165gr with IMR 4350?

[Lee_Enfield_Lover]

So my close buddies talked me into buying a box of 165gr hornady SST for my Tikka T3 lite stainless and 1lb of IMR 4350 for reloading.

Does anyone have a grain amount that seems just really well harmonized for this combination and a T3 from actual range testing? Working up to 57 grains sounds to be what works for other 3006s with those bullets. Any suggestions also for after I get through this box?

... I'm about to reload in two weeks with a very experienced reloader and can't wait to try this for the first time! Yes - check the books I know. I have, he has and will further cross reference. Twice.

56-57 grains seems to work in so many 06's don't see why yours would be any different. Just got done playing with a Parker-Hale and Brno in 30-06. Tried Rl-19, Big Game, RL-22, Varget and IMR=4350. IMR-4350 is still the one!

I'm using that same bullet with 59grains of Hodgdon Superformance powder in my Tikka T3 Hunter Stainless. Sub-Moa.
