30-06 load recommendation 178gr. Amax

Hopkins said:
Anyone have a go to load for their 06 using the 178gr Amax and IMR or H 4831 or 4350?
Sorry I can't help you with the powder you listed but my '03 Springfield likes 44.5gr H4895 behind the 175 bullet.
 
56 gr of H4350 has been fun to shoot in my old 03-A3 (sporterized). A 1942 barrel still shoots 3/4" groups with this bullet at 100 yards.
 
my 30-06 loves H4350, the 180gr SMK loaded to 3.290" and 53.5gr. See The Rifleman's Journal for more 30-06 info, German Salzar has a ton of good stuff there. 4350 does well with heavy bullets.

IMR-4895 is another good one, but I see you don't have it. 173gr M118 and 46.5g 4895.
