blue dot in an 06?

[cdet69]

Any ideas in using blue dot in a 30-06? What would the pressure rating be? Just curous

I worked up a load for a 270 Win using Blue Dot, I don't know if that helps though...

on a .358Win thread, Rocky Raab posts how to load with blue dot

his post was HERE! (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showpost.php?p=1673485&postcount=4)

I have used up to 22.0gr behind a 169 bullet, both cast and jacketed in a 30-40. Velocity was around 2000fps and someone with quickload ran it for me. Pressure would have been around 35,000psi. You might also find some BD 30-06 load info on the Accurate Reloading Forums. Here's one I found there:

150 grain Remington SP: Case: Remington, CCI/LR Primer, OAL: 81.36mm

21 grs: 2057 fps
22 grs: 2180 fps
23 grs: 2225 fps
24 grs: 2272 fps

25 grs: 2363 fps
26 grs: 2421 fps
27 grs: 2422 fps
28 grs: 2512 fps

19gr. shoots good in my '06 with 150gr. boolits. Not terribly powerful but quite accurate and plenty for 200M shooting.
