The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - IMR4831 vs H4831 Target Loads 30-06

RC20 · November 15, 2013, 11:24 PM

I resurrected this again as I ran across some IMR 4831, maybe should have bought it but had not tried it.

I mis-stated the load a bit, what I call low level loads are mid or a bit lower loads but still within the book listing.

Mostly I would like to know if anyone has similar resutls for accuracy in 30-06 if they had good results with one and switched to the other?

The H4831 has done very nicely at 52 grs, if not a tad compressed certainly a full case. 51 grs is the minimum listed in my Sierra book and will go no lower than that.

Mostly I want the best accuracy with the least velocity as I am tryrng to keep form wearing out my old guns (while I do not do a lot of shooting at a single secession I shoot regularly and in 10 years that would be a factor)
