While there are minute differences across all the barrels chambered for the .30-06 cartridge, a couple load's been good performers in all of them; bolt action commercial rifles as well as the military M1 Garand. One may not see how good they are by shooting a couple of few-shot groups. But competitive shooters in the heyday of that cartridge in competition with all sorts of rifles and barrels swore by these as they shot enough rounds per group to verify their accuracy the right way:

165/180 grain bullet.

48/47 grains of IMR4895 or 47/46 grains of IMR4064.

If one of these loads don't shoot at least 1 inch at 100 yards, it's not the ammo's problem if it's been loaded right.

Note the arsenal M72 30 caliber match ammo shot very accurate across all sorts of barrels with about 47 to 48 grains of IMR4895 under a 172-gr. match bullet.
