I think Michael's load was IMR or H4895 about 45 grs or so. That would give about 2500fps with a 150gr bullet and be a nice pleasant shooting load.

I use a lot of H4895 or IMR4064 for my Garand and M1a but have never used or consider IMR3031 particularly appropriate for the '06 bolt or semiauto.

If you are looking for higher power then I prefer H4350 in the '06. It's a near ideal powder for this cartridge.

By the way how is your Krag doing?
