I have some 150 grain interlocks and I am wondering what your most accurate powder combo for 150 grain bullets in the 30-06?

Thank you

Depends on the rifle.

In my M1 Garand and 1903A3, I use IMR-4895 with 150 grain bullets.

My hunting rifle is loaded with 165 grain BTSP, but I use H-414 for this load.
 
Minnesota,

I use H-4350 in the .30-06. My load for my current .30-06 59.5gr of H-4350 with the Sierra 165 SBT and CCI BR2 primers. Velocity is 2830 fps. Five shot group at 100 yards measures .247". I have had quite a few .30-06 over the years and I've never failed to get fine accuracy from them.
 
I use Hornady 150 Gr. SST's in my Rem 700. Best load I've found is 51.0 grains of IMR 4064 with Fed 210 primers. Super accurate and gives about 2875 fps at the muzzle (24" bbl). Also had good success with Varget and 150 grainers in that gun. Good luck!
 
me too

I use that old 4350 accuracy load in my REM Model 760-- 30-06 also. it is 52 grains of IMR4350 with a 165 gr bullet!(lyman 45th edition) anyone know why it is no longer listed in the latest Lyman manual as an accuracy load??

the lightest load now in this powder is 52.5g??
