So attempting my first pp loads in my 06...going with some Lee 309-160 I have on hand at around 14 bhn...
I have seen a load of 2400 do very well with most weights charging from 16-21 grains...but looking at the burn/pressure profile on quick load it looks pretty tame in comparison to other powders.
Could a higher charge of 2400 or for that matter much faster burning powder like unique work on paper patched bullets or slow like a 4064 or 4895? Looking for good case fill out without filler used (just a bit leery of fillers in 06) with something you get around 23-2400 fps with this bullet...
What is the correlation between alloy and powder burn rate when paper patch is used? Roughly the same? Does the bullet have more tolerance for powder and charges of those powders with paper patch?
Am I making this more complex than it really is?
If I can get 2moa at that speed I'm happy...I hunt at 50-75 yards...so that level of accuracy will do just fine for whitetail in my application.
Thoughts?
