Long range 30-06 load?

Sorry I don't believe in giving out information thats on the hot side. What works in my rifle may not work in your rifle. Start with a moderate load and work you way to max. Monitor head expansion on your brass by using a blade micrometer to measure head diameter. Monitoring pressure by bolt lift and primer obturation is not the best method.

Good advice Butch.

@ idgaf do you have a chrono?

No worries. I am too much of a  chicken anywhere near the max.

For long‑range .30‑06 loads, many shooters prefer 168–200 gr bullets with a high BC. Good choices include Sierra MatchKing, Hornady ELD‑Match, or Nosler RDF.
