That rth guy is pretty helpful.

Looks beautiful.

30-06 167 grain Lapua from the CMP shot well in mine.

I bought cases of FGMM 168 when it was available at a good price.

Going to be working up some different loads soon using IMR powder and likely a 168 or 175 SMK.

i have a bunch of sierra 168s thinking some 4350 of 4064 i have some new lapua 06 brass some where if i can find it other than that i will have to order bullets. will post up the results all i need now is a bull gun.
 
I picked up 10-12 pounds of 4350 from a member here at a fantastic price. I thank @brianf for reaching out to me as it was surplus to his needs.

I just finished up the dregs of my 4064 intending it for my Garand - 48 grains, 168 SMK, HXP 1X, WLRP, about 3.3 COAL.

Fired it yesterday and looks promising.

The 4350 is dedicated for my bolt 30-06.

As my Model 70 isnt done yet Ill use one of my 03s as the test bed.

Expecting great accuracy with fuller case volume.

for my hunting 06 rds i tried a load years ago if i remember right it was 53 grs of 4064 and 150gr hornaday spire point i will have to check my books to make sure. i read it in a book as it was jack O'Conner's favorite hunting load for the 06. it is a compressed load and it shoots amazingly in 5 different 06s i tried it in and the results on deer sized game is drt. its a max load and you have to work up to it as its over max in some books but i still use it as my go to load.
