IMR 4831

[MUP]

Anyone use imr 4831 loading for 30-06 with 150 gr pills? Any experience or advice to share? Books show it for the 06, and I just happen to have some, so...

I have used it before but dont recall load data . 52 grains IMR 4064 is an almost universal 15o grain load in 30-06 .

I tried it but ended up going to 4350. Speed and accuracy were better with the 4350 but 4831 wasn't far behind it.

4831 typically works better with the heavier bullets in .30-06. It's a lil slow for optimum performance with 150gr pills

I'm just trying to work with what I've got. I know I'd love to have some 4350, as it's been the most recommended by everyone I know and online as well...but, gotta try to use what I've got. What about Varget with the 150 gr's?

Many people have reported good success with Varget in the .30-06 with lighter bullets, as it is basically just Hodgdon speak for 4064

Like others have said 4831 is a little slow burning for 150 gr bullets but is great for the heavier ones.
My pet load in my 30-06 is 50 gr of IMR 4895 with 150 gr Hornadys.

Well, I just found some Accurate 4350... Anyone loaded with it?

I tried it one time in 7mm Rem Mag and it seemed a hair faster than IMR 4350,,it worked well just back off IMR data 2-3 grs and work up,,it has been a while and I lost that data when we moved but it seems like it shot about the same 2 grs lighter than IMR,,

Thanks guys! I was fortunate to find 2 lone bottles of it this afternoon...the only two I have now. ;)

Sorry I couldnt find what you were needing Ryan, but I'll keep watching. :)

I have used it with 180 grain bullets in 30-06 and 162 grain bullets in a 7 mag. It works great with heavier bullets. I haven't ever tried it with lighter bullets.
