150gn GMX in .30-06

[Robtattoo]

Here's an odd one.
I need to load some lead free ,06 rounds for a friend to take to Cali, tomorrow!
He's going to be possibly hunting Blacktail, bears & maybe a pig or two.

I don't have his rifle & other than a rough range trip to zero we don't have time to work up a load properly (I'm in TN, he's in IN & he's flying to Cali on Saturday)
Neither of us can find lead free ammo locally, so I offered to load up the 23 GMXs I have left. 3 to check, 20 to shoot.
I'm incredibly aware how sub-optimal this is....

I have most common powders available (IMR & H4350, 3031, 4064 etc) & I was wondering if anyone could point me toward a 'common load. I'm thinking 57gn of IMR4350 should pretty much mirror most factory loads at 2900fps +/-

I have a 29 rounds of 30-06 150 gr Winchester Copper X-Treme point I can sell you; but I'm in Ten Mile.

I load 54.7 grains of AA 4350 behind 150 grain NABs and NBTs in my 06, I might check an online chart to make sure that isn't too high of a charge for the copper bullets, as I've heard they require lower charges than copper jacketed bullets.

I'd use Barnes solid bullet data.
They list 52.0 imr 4064 as max with 150s
If I couldn't test it I would load 50.5-51

That's odd that there's no 4350 powder listed isn't it?
