Marlin Junky: I've been doing some reading on the 06.

what is your barrel configuration?

I'm shooting heavier bullets, but here goes:

200gr Saeco #301 29-30gr AA5744, F210M primers, RP cases
or
29-30gr H322, and this latter load works with 185-220gr bullets in a friend's '03

175gr Saeco #315 23-24gr AA5744, F210, RP cases (also worked with 200gr Saeco #301)

200gr Saeco #301 28-30gr AA2015, F210M, RP cases

Your boolit hardness at sub 20bhn is plenty hard, and it sounds like you already have a good fit. Try another lube? I use LBT Blue or Blue Soft.

It's a 4-groove Pre-64 M70. Looks to be about .3085" in the grooves and a tad over .300" (IIRC) across the lands.

Actually, I'm thinking about trying a boolit in the .3090" to .3095" range. My Lube is mostly BAC with a bit of Soft Blue mixed in. Soft Blue is too hard for 2000 fps in the winter.

BTW, my 4895 loads need to have the COL reduced and retried on Wednesday.
