[QUOTE="DirtyOldTrix3006, post: 602179, member: 40950"] Hello ApoX. How long is the barrel on your 30-06? If you have a twist of 1/11, it's a rare odd six and you may want to look at sticking to the 165/168gr weight of bullet. If you have at least a 22" tube and can find a bullet that you can accuratly push around 2800 - 2900 with a powder in the burn range from IMR4064 up to Winchester748, without getting pressure problems, making your barrel ring like a bell or even both, you should have a good all around load. A 165 Gameking or Partition for instance, will and has knocked out the kill zone of many large animals. Bullet placement is key, which requires accuracy. For Grouse, how about a 110gr bullet with less powder and speed. Try some Trail Boss sending the little round nose at 1200 - 1400fps. Your target should still be in the scope when the round hits and you will not only have more fun, but be a little more safe. Remember when you are aiming at the birdy you should be aiming at the ground too. If the the clucker is in a tree or flying, you should be using light load scatter gun, not something that can hit hard a long way away. Good luck, have fun, hope I was a help. [/QUOTE]
