Wendy, I have a Rem 700 LR in 30-06 and played around with bullets and powders all summer. I really liked the Hornady 178 gr Eld-x but only had one box and none to be found so I couldn't go any further at the time. I went to the 200 gr. Eld-x because I could get them. Usually I like H4831sc, have used it for years but that 700 didn't seem to get under an inch with it. I went to Imr 4350 and it loves it. 1/2 in at 100 + and very reliable. That was the best I could come up with and shot a bison with that load this past fall. Pole axe shot behind the ear. Found the bullet, lost .5 gr.
I finally got a stock of the 178's now and will work up a load for those, most likely see if I can get the new Imr 4451 all temp powder to work. If not, I'll try the H4831sc or the 4350.
