The only thing I have is my favorite / pet 30-06 load - 180 gr. Gas Check boolit over 13.0 grains Red Dot powder w/ no filler . It's a keeper
If you do get a bottle of Red Dot experiment with a charge between 13.0 and 15.0 grains to find your rifles "sweet spot ". Mine always preferred 13.0 .

I've no experience with the powders you have listed ... Sorry.

might try 25-27 gr re7

I like Re-7 in the 30-06, around 23gr shoots well with most bullets I've tried, use more if a hunting load. Re-7 is one powder I like to keep a good supply of, because they have dropped it once, and brought it back,might not come back if it goes away again.

I run 22 gr RL7 under a 180 in my 308's, 22-27 grains RL7 should work well in the '06. RL7 works well for me using cast boolits in the 300 Savage, 303 Savage, 308, and 35 Rem, I would expect good results in most 30 to 35 caliber cast boolit shooters.

thanks . what has me confused is,,
been out of the loop for quite awhile...reloading. and such.
At the time I bought these powders .
All I was reloading was 44 mag and 30.06. I have 2#s of IMR4320 AND CANT FIRURE OUT WHY ? [smilie=b: LOL
I understand the 231 and the H414 .
must of had some literature on these,,but be damned if i can find it, and sure info hase change a little in 10+ yrs



MLG thanks for the load ill write it down and load a few up for testing

4320 i keep hearing in an old time powder. but available..like to fine some loads for it.

[Conditor22]

4320 works for 30-60

go to this link, select the powder then look at the list of calibers they have loads for.

RCBS cast load manual has loads for 30-06 w 4320 with 115 gr bullet and h414 with 150gr bullet

W231 is great for lighter loads even with heavy bullets. Look at the Lyman Cast bullet handbook ed 3 if you have it and the loads for PB and Unique. W231 has a burn rate right between these two. Use the PB/Unique starting loads and work up carefully.
