      Hello folks,
      I was curious if you do not mind sharing what powders you all are liking with your 30-06 loads. I’ve tried a few and have not found that super sweet spot yet and could use some help. So far accurate 5744 has been ok, but want something else to try. Currently I’m loading cast boolits in the 150 grain range for target plinking and some 180-210 grain for longer full power loads. I was using both gas check models with and without checks and also a good powder coat.  Thank you for the assistance.

        I don’t mean to open a can of worms, but has there ever been a reproducible instance of the secondary explosion effect?

        That answer is above my pay grade Sir. I can not say for sure. I’m still learning. No worries on the worms…. just good conversation.

          I would refer you to “Firearms Pressure Factors” by L.E.Brownell Ph.D (ISBN:0-935632-85-9) for the most authoritative discussion on the matter that I have found so far.

            Found 25 gr. RX-7 and the 311290 with a large rifle primer to be very accurate in a 4-groove Springfield I once owned.

              I brought up the mention of copper in an alloy but didn’t want to hijack the thread so I moved it here.
