CCI Primers For 30-06

Magnum Rifle primers for 30-06?

CCI Primers For 30-06, I’ve done some research. Some say it’s ok to use magnum primers, others don’t. So here’s the deal, I have some IMR 4064 and large rifle magnum primers. My 30-06 loads are primarily for deer hunting. So my question is, has anyone else pushed a 150-168 grain pill out of a 30-06 while using IMR 4064 / magnum primer with out accuracy or performance issues? CCI Primers For 30-06

IMR4064 is an extruded powder, I doubt you will see much of a change regardless… but the safe avenue is to reduce and work up. If your load isn’t at max, I would drop 1grn and verify.

FWIW, loading IMR4895 for my .30-06 Garand, I’ve used both standard and Magnum primers and saw little change, but my load was not near max. CCI Primers For 30-06

The case volume is not small so your accuracy should not be effected very much. The ideal situation is to get the minimum ignition which gives complete burn. If your not shooting br matches your unlikely to notice. Caution changing out components is always warranted and you may find the charge will be reduced a tenth or so for the same velosity. If your sitting in a wide node you may have no change at all….

There is a saying that if a 30-06 won’t shoot groups with a 150 grain bullet and 52 gra

I got out & shot the 30-06 with 60 grains of RL-19 & 168 TSX–velocity was 2900. No pressure signs. Gun is a custom with a #2 Lilja & I was very pleased with the goups. All three holes touching at 100 yards on average. I did ring the 400 yard gong 3 out of 4 times with this load. The CCI 250’s worked well. CCI Primers For 30-06

I just got two boxes of tipped TSX’s in today. Hopefully I can try those soon in a 300 RUM & this 30-06.

ins of IMR 4064 that it won’t shoot small groups with anything. My accuracy load for many years was a 150 grain Speer boattail or Sierra GameKing with 51 grains of IMR 4064 using a Remington 9 1/2 magnum primer. I always liked a magnum primer when using IMR 4064 because I hunted in cold weather and the magnum primer seemed to give a more consistent ignition. I also noticed that other people on various forums came to the same conclusion independent of what I was doing. IMR 4064 is a darling for the 150 grain bullet because it gives a light recoil very accurate load and makes a good deer load. CCI Primers For 30-06

I was never in a position to use IMR 4064 with a 165 grain bullet because for many years I used IMR 4350 which was accurate and easy to get. I wouldn’t have a problem using IMR 4064 with a 165 grain bullet and I would expect an accurate load. I would probable back off a grain of powder just for using a magnum primer. When Reloader 17 came out I moved away from IMR 4064 because I liked the Reloader 17 better. Most reloaders are struggling to get powder now and if I needed to use IMR 4064 I wouldn’t hesitate.
