[QUOTE="ejboy, post: 341612, member: 18207"] Hello All, Just thought that I would comment on the 30-06. This past summer I picked up a 03A3 that had been sporterized. I had never owned a 30-06 before. In fact I had traded for it at a gun show,with no intentions of keeping it as I am a dealer. When going through it before selling I noticed some rust in the barrel and decied that I would shoot it to see if I had been taken and would not want to sell it to anyone if it shot lousey. Because what I saw down that bore when I cleaned it made me sick. Anyway I put a second hand scope on it that I had taken off of some other rifle which was a Tasco with a range finder that Tasco made quite a few years ago. I had a box of Federal 180's a friend had given me. Well they shot pretty good, but I was not happy with the groups. So I ordered some Berger 168 gr. VLD Hunting bullets to try. Because I had picked up a Ruger 77 in .308 with a heavy varmint barrel. Been wanting to try Berger bullets anyway. Started out with Federal Brass and Fed.210 primers,and 55.0 grains of Big Game. I fired three three shot groups and they printed less than 1/2" groups. The rifle is no longer for sale and I want to put a better scope on,but If it ain't broke don't fix it. The Berger VLD hunting bullets made this rifle a favorite shooter for me. I killed a deer this year with it and the 168 gr.VLD did a supper Job. I plan on trying 500Yrd shots with it in the near future. ejboy [/QUOTE]
