I havent loaded 30-06 for many years but a friend wants me to load some for him. I have 150gr BTSP Interlock bullets. His gun is a Rem 742. Anybody load these much? Your powder choice is.........?
Not all powders listed in the manuals for a caliber are a good choice to use. The manual tells you they "can" be used, not should be used. The writers want to give you all the options they can because some reloaders want to limit their powders to only 1 or 2.Thanks guys. The Hornady manual shows a lot of different powder choices. I have Varget,4064,4895 and one or two more you suggested. Hopefully I'll get achance to try some today.
I'll be ok. I'll show him how to do it and he can handle it. Thanks though.I no longer load ammo for others. The liability is too great.
If something, anything happens you will be an 'also named'.
I would not load a ball powder for an auto loader as the unburned powder grains mess things up.
