[QUOTE="Oldschool280, post: 1715047, member: 94521"] nowadays ive hung up my drinking guns and spend much more time with my actual rifles. I have alot of affection for the 30-06 and have spent time making very accurate loads for my 760 gamemaster. I have one hole 165, 180, and 200grain 100 yard loads. This year i’m going to carry it for deer, black bear and florida hogs/ yotes . In years past ive been shooting , 6.5’s 7mm’s 300 mags, 375 h&h ect As i look through my safe , i could in my opinion honestly sell everything else i have and still be pretty well equipped. I would not actually do this as i do love variety, but man the 06 is great. Anybody that has one and hasn’t given it a chance with todays powders and high bc bullets, it may be worth a day or two of fiddling around with the old girl to see that she can still tear up the dance floor. I live here in new york so many of you guys out west may have a need for the big magnums more than I, so don’t beat me up too bad for being tender this morning about my old reliable -06. Ive been loading 165 speer btsp 180sst 180 accubond 200 partition. Mostly rl-22 powder Imr 4831 and oddly h-335 for the 165 All with rem 91/2 large rifle primers and R-P brass I think i might try to load a real light weight 120ish bullet just for ships and jiggles.
