Precision Powder

[ERC12]

Hey guys

Im looking into reloading for precision Rifling. Ived picked Sierra match bullet 168 gn. Match primers Remington Brass. Im stuck on the Powder. What Powder has worked for you guys? Shooting a 30-06 Savage model 111. looking to getting a Nikon Scope. Im just begining to get into Precision. Ive reloaded .223 .40 S&W .38 Spec.

So what powder do you guys recommend?

4064, varget, 4895

give those a try

pick up a loading manual too

I have a Lyman's 49th edition and the published loads are the most accurate ones so I just go off of that

I have a Manual Siera just wanted some advice on powder to many to choose from. Thanks for your response

IMR 4064 would be my first choice but it doesn't meter well so weigh every load. H4350 would be my next choice, it's always been really consistent.

I prefer varget, one of my favorite precision powders!

this is paramount
I love ball powders through the progressive
but for precision I weigh each charge and double check

Varget meters pretty well too but for precision you'll want to weigh each charge individually anyways

Do you guys weigh your brass and what are you looking for when you weigh the brass

If your wanting to load heavier bullets (180/190/200) try Reloader 22, 4350, H414.

Im using Sierra Matchking 168 Gr. Hollow Point Boat Tail

[bitethebullet]

4895 works and meters well in a ot-6

I haven't personally used it yet, but I have read that Reloader 15 is a really good powder. It is just really hard to find.

Do you guys weigh your brass and what are you looking for when you weigh the brass

I weigh the brass when doing load development and testing nodes since I want everything to be as consistent as possible

just sort them into different categories by weight that's about it

5 shot groups so I sort them into 5 pieces per weight if possible

now when you start weighing your bullets...
