[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 2203534, member: 26227"] I used to. then I found the absolute best load for the 30-06 for White Tails and Muleys was a 125 grain Nosler ballistic tip at about 3400 FPS. I also tried and liked the 100 grain 30 caliber out of the 30-06 too. The 100 grain slugs were very acceptable under 400 yards. then I graduated to my very own gun for hunting. previous to that I was using my father's old Ruger 77 in 30-06. that was after he filled his tag then I got to hunt with it. then I got my own rifle.. a much maligned, dusty, old, 270 Winchester: Mod 70. Mid-1980's vintage that I bought NIB in 1988. yea, the gun had been sitting in a gunshop in Auburn, CA for a little over 5 years. the owner of the shop could not give the gun away in the years he had it. However he did make me a smoking hot deal on the gun and 10 boxes of winchester and federal ammo he could not give away either. I often wonder what happened to that rifle after 1993. it was stolen in a home invasion robbery at my home. the insurance company only gave me enough to buy 1/4 of the rifle back. I hope whomever stole my model 70 is rotting in hell for it. I like the 30-06, I really love the 270 winchester. the only 30-06 I own anymore is my M-1 Garand. I gifted my father's 30-06 to my little brother in Wisconsin. Hornady SST's are great, I used them in my 300 win mag, 30-06 garand, and in several friend's 30 caliber hunting rifles. [/QUOTE]
