Jim, Thanks for the information on "173gr bullet at 2200fps, with IMR-4895, and the 3/5 "allowance" for this powder. I had not considered that low a velocity. It looks like that could work also - below. Is IMR-4895 temperature sensitive as IMR-4350? 30-06 by Jobber posted Sep 15, 2020 at 2:50 PM

30-06 velocity / energy

Thanks for the comments. A little about me, I bought my 700BDL over 50 years ago. At that time the .30-06 was touted as the do all – be all cartridge. I immediately had to have a Decelerator pad installed to deal with the 180gr factory loads of 2700-2900fps. I hope I’m not ready for factory...

I didn’t mean to snub anyone, and late happy Father’s Day to all. We left for an extended weekend to Tennessee just after my post. Time didn’t permit much surfing. I was hoping someone could furnish real-time use info VihtaVuori powders for reduceduced load .357 Mag. Their loading guide data is...

I have researched extensively on numerous forums and/or powder manufacturer sites regarding the umpteen various powders and loads. There have been stellar and mediocre personal reviews for each. I have settled on VihtaVuori powder(s), with Vectan as an alternate. The VihtaVuori information...
