Re: 30-06 POWDER RECOMENDATION
Ok, we need some info first. What bullets do you plan on shooting? What twist and what length is the barrel? These answers are needed before we can provide any accurate info for you. Your twist will determine the range of bullet weight you can get away with. Then once you choose a bullet you need to find which powder will get you started.
Oh, and take the CAPS off, its considered yelling here.

Re: 30-06 POWDER RECOMENDATION
I've had great luck with burn rates from H335 all the way through RL22. Like asked, need to know the twist and bullet you're shooting before we can help.

Re: 30-06 POWDER RECOMENDATION
IMR 4350 or IMR 4064 ARE BOTH PRETTY GOOD POWDERS. LIKE SAID ABOVE, unlock the caps.

I have used both IMR 4895 and H4895 for many year with great results.

Re: 30-06 POWDER RECOMENDATION
I keep IMR-4064 just for my .30-'06 loads, mainly because some of them might be finding their way into my Garand. It likes its powder on the faster side, and its bullets 180gr or lighter.
Also, FYI, H-414 and W760 are the same powder under different labels.

Was the original LC Match powder....
Bohem sends:
110-150gr - H335 or BLC2
150-165 - BLC2, 4064, H4350, RL15, Win 760
165-185 - H4350, RL15, RL17, RL19

THAT is excellent information for the 30-06.

Re: 30-06 POWDER RECOMENDATION
For 150's I like faster powders like BLC-2 or 4064.
I have very good luck in my rifle with 150 FMJ's and 53.5gr of BLC2, this is a warm load, not the hottest it can go but for the sake of barrel life I shoot them around 3050-3100 fps. I can get them north of 3200 with BLC-2, but I don't really see the point.

Re: 30-06 POWDER RECOMENDATION
I have used quite a few powders for the 06 but keep coming back to IMR 4895.

Re: 30-06 POWDER RECOMENDATION
My 30 year old .30-06 loves IMR 4831. I shoot 150 grain bullets with it but am switching to a heavier bullet

Re: 30-06 POWDER RECOMENDATION
WELL I DID MY FIRST TRY WHIT FOUR DIFERENT POWDERS TO START WHIT, I MADE 2 SHOOTS WHIT EVERY SINGLE CHARGE AT 100 METERS AND HERE IS TE RESULT.
FOR THOSE HOW DON´T READ SPANISH THIS IS THE TRANSLATION:
CARGA = CHARGE
VELOCIDAD = VEL. APROX
BALA = BULLET
COLA PLANA = FLAT BASE
GRANOS = GRAINS
CASQUILLO = CASE
FULMINANTE = PRIMER

Re: 30-06 POWDER RECOMENDATION
Turn the caps lock off. Really.
TYPING IN ALL CAPS WILL GET YOU BANNED.
You've been told before, remember this time, ok?
