30-06 Reloading Data

[ThomPhillips]

Hi! I'm fairly new to rifle reloading. I'm trying to find data that would allow me to load Remington 30-06 Brass with the Remington Core-Lokt bullets. So far I've not had much luck. I e-mailed Remington and they referred me to the powder and bullet manufacturers; however, none had reloading data for this combination. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thom

Thom,
You can use any similar manufacturer's bullet data,i.e. substitute a Speer Spitzer 150 for a Remington Core-Lokt 150) to get close. With that said, I found some decent accuracy with 57.3 gr IMR4350, CCI BR2, Win. brass and Remington 150gr Core-Lokt out of my 22" Remington ADL. This setup is giving me an avg. of 2655 fps. I can load hotter but most shots aren't over 100 yards where I deer hunt.

Also, check out loadswap.com and handloads.com for relevant load information...Remember to use it as a guide and work up your load. Some loads in some guns aren't safe in others.

go back to your powder https.just because they don't use the corelokt does not mean that you can try it thats what reloading is all about.load shoot load shoot.try a couple of loads.you may even have to change primers useing the same powder charge.or even change brass.just try
