Anyone have any load data for the 30-06 with Burger 185 VLD and RL-17? I have been working one up but wonder about going to hot in a Benelli R1. My current load is 46g RL-17. Lots of case room to go much hotter. My first group was a bit over 1 MOA at 100 yards. I worked this load up starting with 43g. The 46g load shot the best with the Benelli R1. I currently shoot in my bolt gun 47.6g RL-17 in my .308 with the same bullet it gives me 2750 f/s average. I have not put this on a chronograph yet but will try to make that happen today. Any pointers would be helpful.
