I’m still trying to work up a new 30-06 load, and it’s kicking my butt. Trying to go with the 178 eld-x, and have tried 2 powders (imr 4451 and Superformance) but can’t seem to find a decent load. I’m shooting Remington 700s (loading for 3 different rifles). I know these aren’t going to be tack drivers, but I’m confident they can get down near 1” groups if I can find the right loads. Back to the bench...

My friend in the UK has just got some ELD-X loaded up for him, 212 in his 300, which group at .3'' @100 yards.
The 178's .45''@100 yards in his .308.

The powder is RS50, can't say I have heard of that powder or even if it is available in the US

I hope that helps with the 30-06

Cheers

Richard

Will have to try H414 in the old 7x57. I've had really good results with varget and 150 partitions. I like your "four of a kind sig" I'm a huge 7mm fan. Looks like a good group of serious handloaders here.
