[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 553759, member: 14209"] Vendetta, I have a .30-06 AI built off of a 1971 Remington 700 ADL. Only thing left of the origional is the Action and Bolt. Specs are: Trued and Blueprinted Remington 700 Turned into a BDL. Timney Trigger, Kreiger 26" #6 Contour 1-10" twist. It's in a Fajen Laminate stock. It's wearing a Leupold MK 4 Precision Rifle 4.5-14x40mm SF scope. I built this rifle 5 years ago and it is my go to rifle. I have 2 loads that I shoot currrently out of this rifle. 1st load is the 168g Berger VLD using H4350 and CCI BR2 primers. It shoots the best less than 1/2" @100yds. Velocity is at 3125FPS. (10 shot average). The second is the 190g Berger VLD also loaded With H4350 and CCI BR2 primers. This shoots 3/4" @ 100yds. and Velocity is 2935FPS (10 shot average) In Both cases Factory Remington brass was used with load development and I Tweaked my load data to use LC & LC Match military brass and I found that 1 grain reduction is needed to keep pressure in check and to get the same velocitys. I have taken 2 deer with the 168g Berger VLD one of which is in my signature line. I have yet to hunt with the 190s, but I've shot them at 1000yds and they did well for me. I have to shoot them a bit more for practice. Below are photos on of the Rifle and the second is of Cartrdges I load for my personal rifles. For comparison purposes. L to R, 7mm STW, .30-06 Ackley Improved, 6.5-06 Ackley Improved, .243 Ackley Improved, and the .243 Winchester. [ATTACH]2970.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]2971.vB[/ATTACH] This .30-06 AI is the most accurate of the 5 with the .243 Winchester being right close. The .30-06 AI loaded correctly and Built right will do what you are asking. Dan [/QUOTE]
