Got serious with the 30-06 last spring and started loading 180gr Hornady interlock's. Love IMR 4350 powder, seem's to work in everything! Well didn't have any and couldn't find any so used IMR 4064. It'll keep three shot's into about a inch every time. Still would like to find some 4350 though.

I have been using IMR 4064 because I had a lot to use up. Funny how I can't find one bottle of IMR 4350 on a shelf anywhere in town. What does that tell you??? The 4064 is working well though and I have developed excellent loads with the 180 grain SST. I seat mine long and get away with more powder and velocity with safe pressures. The SST bullets are affordable and have gotten my tags filled with single shot kills the last couple seasons.

Please let me know how you do with the superformance! I just bought some too!
