I have a Savage .30-06 bolt action and will be using IMR 4064 and Hornady 165 SPBT Interlock bullets. I'm trying to go about making the most accurate load I can for my hunting rifle. I have 20 rounds of fireformed Remington brass and will be using CCI primers.
Going by by the data listed by IMR powder min-max are from 49-52.5 gr. I'm thinking of loading 2 rounds of 49gr (mainly for fowling purposes) and 3 rounds of everything in between going up by .5 gr until I hit 52 since usually the fastest load isn't the most accurate. If I do this that's 20 rounds and I should be able to see what's grouping the best and I can fine tune powder and COAL from there.
What do ya'll think?
Also, Should I run a bore snake after every group just to keep things consistent?
