[QUOTE="EastTNHunter, post: 3861250, member: 8364"] 57gr of IMR4350 with 165gr bullet is the quintessential recipe for 30-06. But every rifle has its own personality, so your gun may not like it. My old 760 pump will shoot that load with Hornady 165gr SP bullets into less than an inch on a good day, but it did not like RL19 or 17, which many claim to have had excellent luck out of. As has been mentioned, look for pressure signs, but I doubt that you will be over max with that load in a Rem700. Also remember, load manuals list OALs to min SAAMI spec, and my .270 Rem700 likes my loads MUCH longer than what manuals call for. Just try to keep at least 1 caliber diameter (in this case .308) of bullet seated inside the case neck and you should be fine. [/QUOTE]
