30-06 velocity ES

Hey I was wondering if anyone had input on the ES of a 30-06? Are you able to keep them in the teens or better?
 
I've been getting really good ES (11 Avg 8 shots)with Win brass, H4350 and 185's. I have lowered my ES by chamfering both inner and outer flash hole. Seems to me if you keep the case full helps too.
 
If my ES isn't below 20, I don't consider it a viable load.

I get acceptable ESs with Varget, IMR 4064, and H4895, (with light bullets;) but get single digit spreads with IMR 4831, H414 and H4831, (heavier bullets.)

Which is why I think H4350, (as mentioned above,) would work well with a wide swath of bullet weights.
