30/06 load development?

[Jkesrnicla]

Beginner reloader here looking for some reassurance! So I just reloaded some Remington 30-06 cases trimmed exactly to 2.495 with 168gr eld bullets and exactly 55gr of IMR 4350 with some Winchester magnum primers, would this be a safe load in a mauser vz24, rifle is a tack driver with 165Gr rem corlokt factory ammo...

Should be. I've heard that 57gr of IMR4350 with a 165sgk is "the load".

Thanks I’ll give that a try next!!!

Work up to it.

I'd encourage you to work up a load for your rifle. Rifles are like precious little snowflakes...they don't all like the same stuff (though sometimes a load is like well enough by a bunch). The best part about working up? It's way safer than "that load is popular, should be fine in my rifle" technique.

Don't know about Win Magnum primers but Win LR primers bought circa 2012 and Federal brass, as well other makers, has been incompatible.

If you are experiencing blown primers it could be tiny spec primers instead of pressure.

Ill only load Win in formerly crimped brass now and going forward will buy Fed/CCI.
