To avoid liability problems, let me tell you that all my pet loads will absolutely, positively, blow up all other .30-'06s in the world. Nobody else is safe in using my loads.
I use 110-grain bullets in my '06 for varmint hunting. I use 53.5 grains of 3031, and have used various primers with no difference in accuracy...I'd guess these loads hit around 3,400 or so ft/sec.
A real fun load is to swage down the .32-20 flat-nose 80-grain, and put about 54 or 55 grains of 3031 behind it. This load is obscene, and does horrible things to jackrabbits. I screwed up royally in 1951, and shot a buzzard which was directly overhead. Sadly, folks, I did not have an umbrella. The operative word is, "Yuck!"
FWIW, Art
