after searching for load data on this boolit, I can not find anything I can use, most are pushing it around 1000 fps, I am wanting to use in my 30-06 and would like to push it around 1800-2000 fps. The powders I have are 2400, IMR4198, IMR4350, and IMR 4895. so these are the ones I want to use, don't want to buy any more powders. I have 3 different load manuals and none have any data on this boolit in 30-06.

For the Whisper I'd go with 4198 and for the 30/06 I'd try 4895, although my best loads for the Whisper is with RL-7, the 30/06 likes Varget, all are reduced loads and use cast boolits of course.

I would suggest 28.0gr of IMR4895 as a good place to start. I have this same bullet without the GC, and I am looking for a load generating 1400 - 1500fps. I get 1500fps with 20gr of IMR4227 in .30-06.

I am looking at doing the same with the 308. The only load data I found was jacketed for a 250 grain bullet, but since it is maxed out at 2200-FPS it should get me close.
