    I'm in for the 4350 for sporter-length barrels also, my powder of choice back when I used jacketed bullets.

    I'm a big fan of Varget for the '06. IMR 4350 is second on my list IMR 4064 is next. -side note: I have 2 8lb. containers of Varget on hand, due to using it in so many different calibers

    I am also of them by my self new to reloading, doing 2 reloads and one of them by my self. The only 2 powders i have use are the 4350 and varget. I love varget, it burns very clean. cleaning my rifles, 1903 springfield , mossberg , is easy plus tumbling the brass takes less time
    thnxs to the info i have read here my shooting has improved a lot.

    The BOSS is a barrel dampening/barrel harmonics tuner that was a factory feature of certain Winchester and Browning rifles that was threaded onto the end of the barrel. With it, one could with much trial and error "tune" the barrel to group better using factory ammo by, in effect, changing the barrel's length to match the harmonics of the load.

    it tensions the bbl by varying the pressure on the end of it.
    dan wesson revolvers done the same thing inadvertently when they come out with thier switch bbls, and the smith and wesson x frames use a similar set-up.
    the boss worked a bit differently by varying the pressure on the end of the bbl only but it changes the harmonics slightly allowing you to try and match the optimal pressure on the bbl to the load you're using.
    something that might have had more appeal on a varmint/target rifle to me anyways.

    I agree with Recluse in using IMR 4895 and I get sub-MOA in both a .270 Rem. 700 and 30-06 Savage 110.
