As noted, rifles aren't alike unless you are truly lucky.

However, I've had fairly good results with Varget in 4 different rifles in .30-06.

These were a Model 70 copy (MRC 1999), a Garand, a Winchester 1895 and a Ruger #1.

150gr Hornady SST's in everything except the Garand, and I used 150gr Hornady FMJBT's for that. Powder charges varied, but I used Varget for all 4.

I initially used Winchester brass for everything, but now I use it just for the Garand (with CCI #34 primers). Norma brass for the other 3, with WLR primers.

The problem with the .30-06 is that there are so many choices available, you could spend a lifetime chasing a perfect load...
