are you going to use no-lead bullets? the barns bullets work great according to a buddy of mine that used a .338 browning to take a great moose 2 years ago.

I can't wait to rescan the targets. here is a preliminary target that includes my best group (#17 on the load data sheet).
No. 4 on this pick is no. 17 on load development pic.

Ok I finally got some range time!, it was cold and windy but I think I got some good data. I am posting my velocity info in a minute but the upshot was i was up to 2800+ fps with 75 gr amax (moly coated) and didnt get to serious pressure indication. I will post pics of my empty cases and a pic of my crono data. my best groups were at about 2800+ fps but will post targets as well (after i scan them and put on “on-target”.
here are 2 pic of my primers to see if you agree with my assessment of “not over pressure”, i will add a 2nd pic with better resolution.
2nd pic
Ok from left to right i loaded 4 rounds with increasing wheights of powder using the same primer (Wolf smrifle)
I will attach the velocities in a minute.
here they are:
Ok I see that I did not go far enough with the load development to get the High end of loads…. I think with these bullets i could have gone .6gr or even 1 gr higher. I will post the targets tomorrow and you can evaluate the whole package. I will tell you now that my best 3shot group was under 1/4 inch at 100 yds in the 2800 fps range.

No sorry if you have $1500 dollars to play with then go fore it

Nice job dog!
-
Med with mountain tactical works well, no prob

Nice scope birddog! Do you have any advice for using a lower power scope?

IMR 4350 is close to H4350, I'm not sure it is as useful in the 30-06. I don't have any personal exp to make a definitive choice on IMR vs h

Can you post a link to the javilen?

Good evaluation Dogdown! i would however point out that most load development is done with groups fewer than 5 rounds and SD is more relavent with larger sample sizes. From a preliminary load development standpoint I (without evidence ) still consider ES a better first take on load development. If you want to get a better evaluation of load consistancy we might go for 7 -8rounds, according to a Google search on best number of shots for evaluation. Fact is Dogdown has more practical exp than I do.

Looks like resounding success , I am keen to see what you do with it!

Turkey stories are welcome here too lol

It is indeed a shooter welcome friend!
-
I am looking forward to seeing your data!

I would like to know the same !
