I got 100 190gr horaday match from a guy and I was planing on useing them at a long range match
was looking for a ballpark load so I would not burn them up testing. what type powder/weight and primer are you using for those 173gr Thanks for the reply.

I load the 03A3 with LC cases ,CCI 200 primers, 56.5gr. IMR 4831, and the 173gr. LC point. I trim cases to 2.495, and use an OAL of 3.350 which is quite long, but through many test loads has proved most accurate. I use the same components, substituting 46.7grs. IMR 4064 in my Garand shooting. On the Garand its favorite OAL is 3.255. I think 55grs. as a starting load should be safe with the 190gr. points. You can work up from there, but their should be a ceiling of about 57gr. so build slowly and watch for signs of pressure. If you have some other powders in mind, I'm not familiar,having not used any others in the 30-06. Hopfully you will get some other suggestions.
