Who's Loading .30-06 with IMR4166?

[Airgead]

Subject says it all. I have been wanting to find some of the new IMR4451 and test it with my .30-06 loads but can't find any locally. I did find some IMR4166 but haven't seen any real results by others. Looking to see if either of these are improvements over my go-to IMR4895.

I'm trying to decide if I want to use up some Sierra GameKing 150gr that I have left-over from an RCBS rebate or use what little remaining stock I have of Hornady Interlock SP 180gr which seem to be perpetually out of stock. I've been contemplating switching over to the Hornady SSTs as my standard. So many decisions!

I'm usually a 180gr shooter/hunter in .30-06. Wondered if anyone had worked up some good loads at what bullet weight and what powder charges.

180 grain GameKings on top of 55.3 grains of IMR 4350 works for me.

I recently got some to try and work up a load for my 300 winmag using heavier 190-220 gr bullets. Not much help sorry.

I'm still using

one of the five 8# kegs of pulled ball powder from surplus which I bought in the 80's. I think they cost $18 delivered in those days.
