Tired of trying
« on: October 25, 2005, 06:56:58 PM »
Tried the all favored loads of IMR4350 in all ranges went Low, to High end charges very slow with 150gr nosler BT green tips and Sierra 150gr & 165gr SMK bullets with my 30.06 winchester mod 70 pre-64. NO LUCK at all, went back to the old stand by IMR4895 48gr with the nosler 150 BT green tips, BINGO 1/4" groups @ 100yards and 150yards. What have I done wrong with the IMR4350, very tired of trying. IMR4895 just shoots great out of this rifle.

Going to work up a load with 180gr bullet. hope it doesn't take as long to figure out, any ideas on powder, got IMR in 4064, 4350 & 4895

thanks

Some guns are picky for some reason. If IMR4895 works why not stick with it?  I had good accuracy with IMR4064 in my 06.  :D
