I've reloaded thousands of 30-06 using IMR 4350, but recently changed to Reloader 17.
It does meter better, and is still accurate in my Browning stainless stalker.

And R17 is a little faster, but so long as you don't run it out on the ragged edge during load development in a cold time period, it should be fine during the summer. R17, can be a touch sensitive to temp swings.
Thanks for the info Huck. I'm a new reloader as well and the temp coefficient never dawned on me.

Hodgdon's H4350 is very temp stable

huckelberry what load are you using in the h4350? i am shooting a rem 700 and a browning bar. i am wanting a good load for both guns so i don't have to switch powders. here is what powders i have allready. w760,h4350,h414,imr4227,imr3031,h380,rl19. thanks for the help
What made you determine your bullet seating depth? Cannelure groove? Just curious.
I have bought some H4350, but not loaded any for 30-06. It's great for 243.
A good place to start is 58gns of H4350 with a 165gn bullet. It is a known accuracy load, but me require just a little tweaking for your individual guns.

thanks
I have the Hornady reloading manual and it recommended that length. As far as the crimp I'm using the RCBS reloading dies.
