Has anyone had any experience with the old 2206 in their 30/06?
I haven't, but FYI if you're trying to imitate that result have you had a look at 2206H? It's burning rate is only slightly slower than the 2206 and should give you a similar result with a little load development.
Has the advantage of being a current powder too of course so will be readily available in the future, and load data will be maintained too.
I know you've already got a few tubs of the 2206 but just something to keep in mind for when you eventually have to move to another powder.
Failing that 2209 is a tried and true powder for the 30-06 Spring.
