when i started metallic reoading for 30.06 with 165 g jacketed Hornady BTSP CCI LR primer(200)in about 1976 i used
lymans 45th manual accuracy load 52.0g imr 4350 max 57g
lymans 49th starting load now 52.5g imr 4350 max 57
Speer 9th starting load 54g imr 4350 max 58.0g
Lee 2011 manual startring load 56.0g max 60.0g
well my question is why did Lymans change starting load and why the difference in starting loads between manuals?
Being the frugal person that I am and recoil sensitive I never tried any hotter loads than the 52 g imr "accuracy" load. this load has served me very well in my Rem model 760, I check my scope yesterday and shot my life" best" group at 100yds 3 shots that could literally be covered by a thin dime!!I have a witness!!
although lymans 49th says Imr 4064 is the current accuracy load, i am sticking with my old 52 IMR grains, light recoiling and very accurate in my gun rifle.
What say you reloading gurus??
