Ah I see, that is a great point. I was kinda thinking about shooting some 150 win super X when I finished. That is what I had been shooting as when I first got the rifle it gave me the best groups. But that's a very good idea, thanks for the tip.

I was thinking of testing lead ammo to get the right weight, but won't the different size/construction/BC the accuracy when I transition to lead free?

Ronin, thanks for the tip. it's not that I'm dead set on using a 30-06 for long range lead free hunting. It's that for now i need to make the best of what I have. When I purchase a more appropriate long range rifle I plan to get a 7mm, 300, or 338. For now I just want to make my 06 as capable...

Savage 110D in 30-06 I don't know the twist rate, it had previously grouped well with 150's when I first got it years ago. 7-800 I don't know, my thought was to set he rifle up for long range so I could learn and gt comfortable at those distances. I haven't shot it any farther then 2-300...

gohring3006, what bullets are you plugging into the app with good results. I'm brand new to long range, in actuality I wouldn't take a hunting shoot over 4 or 500 right now and that would have to be near perfect conditions. When I get more proficient with shooting and reloading I'll be getting...

Thank you guys, I was trying to look up the difference between G1 and G7. The comparison above makes it look like you could estimate the G1 BC to be close to double the G7

So I'm just learning about long range shooting and reloading for it. I was told a high BC was necessary for long range hunting, the BC listed for the Hammer bullets seems fairly low though.

I have a bit of a resentment towards Barnes, I've heard they strongly banks the lead free movement in California for "condor protection". I'll probably end up using them

I'm working on setting up my 30-06 hunting rifle for 700 type 800 yard shots. I don't currently shot lead free but CA law wl be going into effect I. The next couple years where I will have too. I was wondering anyone was reloading lead free 30-06? Any suggestions

Ended up going with Talley one piece lows. Thanks again guys.

Thanks guys, not the first time I've heard these ring's spoken of highly. Unfortunately they do not make them I 30mm low, which is what I need.

I have a left handed Savage 110 LA. I wanted to get a DNZ Game Reaper but for the Leopold VX-3i 4.5-14 3mm that I just decided on and when I went to order the mount I found that they don't offer my rifle in 30mm, only 1in. So does anyone know of anything comparable to the Game Reaper or can...

Thanks for the solid input guys. I had decided on the VX-#i 4.5-14 30mm with windplex and CDS.... Then I went to DNZ to order my Game Reaper only to find that it isn't available in my configuration. So now I need to find a different mount/ring setup or go with the 1 inch tube, as that is...

I'm pretty set on a VX-3i 4.5-14 with the wind Plex reticle and CDS, but I'm still trying to decide what features and size. The scope is to go on a savage 30-06 and hopefully be shooting out to 700+ (when my skills allow it) What I'd like to ask is will he extra internal adjustment come into...

Hey all, looking to get a spotting scope for this hunting season. I have a low budget due to other expenses, around $200. I was looking at the Alpen 15-45x60mm or 20-60x60mm and the Redfield 20-60x60mm. These two seen to have the best reviews in my price range. But I know almost nothing about...
