Im shooting it out of a Browning A-Bolt 1-10 twist 22 inch barrel.

Re: 30-06 150 gr load?
I concur with stevewag.
IMR4895 is a good powder for this bullet.
Only difference is IMR recomends 49.5 as max on the 150 grainers, at 50,000psi.
I load 49.0. Works great.
A nice shooting, clean powder.

Re: 30-06 150 gr load?
my Sierra book says up to 51.7 max for 150 gr bullets
I loaded 10 with 49 grains of varget 3.230 OAL and 10 with 50 gr IMR4895 3.230 OAL Ill shoot them tomarrow and see how they work for me.

Re: 30-06 150 gr load?
I don't use the powders you listed but do shoot 150gr nosler ballistic tips with 57.5gr of 4350. This is downloaded by a grain and a half off max and pulls my groups in to about 1 1/4".
The deer don't know the difference between that and a full 59 grain load.
I never experimented too much with other powders as I was hitting deer very regularly with the powder I started with. works for me.

I use 47.0gr of IMR-4895 with 150gr FMJ bullets for loads that I shoot out of my 1903A3 and M1 Garand. Very accurate.
