Looking for 30-06 AI data
« on: June 13, 2009, 06:14:20 PM »
Looking for 30-06 Ack Imp data for 180gr bullets.  I have AA 2520, IMR 4320, IMR 4350, RL-19, IMR 4831 and H-870 powders on hand.
Please specify if your data used military or commercial brass.

I'm pretty sure the Nosler manual and maybe the Barnes manual list data for it. I can't recall for sure but maybe Hornady does as well.

The Nosler 5th and Sierra manuals both have 30-06AI data, here's Sierra's data, they use a couple of your powders.

The Loadbook for the 30-06 also has data for the A.I.
The few loads that I worked up for mine all shot very good @ 100 yards, and I was using 180 gr. GameKing bullets.

I tried 58 grains of IMR 4350
60 grains of Reloder 19
60 grains of H414
These shot well from once fired Winchester brass ( the first firing was with cast bullets and IMR 3031 to fire form the brass)
The best group came from the IMR 4350.

These results were from MY RIFLE. YOUR RIFLE MAY OR MAY NOT LIKE THEM!

Has anyone here found any additional on-line resources for the 30-06 AI?

I have a .270 AI and just started reloading for it.  I usually just start with the starting load for a standard .270 imp and then go from there.

SilverSlayer,

I thought about doing the same, but was worried about pressure considering the difference in shape of the case.
