Default 30-06 and IMR 3031

Glad you are having success with 3031. It is a fine powder when used judiciously in '06.

When I pursued woodchucks in upstate NY in the 50s and early 60s, my go-to load was 110gr Sierra HPs over a less-than-max load of 3031. Wonderfully accurate in my 1917 '06 Eddystone with Bishop stock. At first with peep sight and then with 10X Weaver. Under 1" @ 100 yards and just 2" @ 200 yards. Eyes were better then to use peep at long range.

Best-ever loads were 165gr Sierra HPs over 4350.

Regards,

Dyson
