30-06 is the load I am looking for not the one in the title. Can't find a way to edit the title. sorry


Does anyone have a favorite load that works well on hogs and whitetail deer? If you do could you share it or suggest a site where it is listed.

thanks for the help

Did you mean .30/06?? I use 56.5g of Reloder 17 behind a 168g Lapua Scenar. Have had real nice results with this combo from 65 yards out to 470 yards all DRT. This is pretty close to a max load in my rifle, so start low and approach with care. Sorry if this isn't what your looking for. YMMV

Re: favorite load 30-06

Yes my mistake. Anyway that is what I am looking for. I may get a chance to do a bit of hog hunting in Florida this winter. I would like to be able to load for whitetail and hog rather than a bunch of different special loads sitting around.

I havn't loaded for the 06 yet. So I will need primer, powder and bullet. This leaves me open to almost any load.

I'll try to change the title.

thanks

Powder: imr4350
bullet: 185gr berger vld
charge: 56.2 gr
primer: fed 210 LR
Brass: winchester nickel plate

this load knocks them dead out to 800yds in my remmy 700 24" barrel 2900fps @ 7000' of elevation. I have theses seated 15 thousenths off the lands 1/2 moa groups all day. this is a pretty stout load but no pressure signs but definetly work up to it

50.5 varget and 168 berger. 030 off the lands

This is my go to hunting load for my 06.

180 grain Swift Scirroco II- 0.02" off lands
54.5 grains IMR 4350
Federal GM LR Primer
WW-Brass

My other load is:

180 Sierra SBT - Set at standard COAL
54.6 grains IMR 4350
Winchester LR primer
Any brass

I use this one the mostly for practice since the bullets are 1/2 the price.

Both loads shoot 1/2 moa out of my rifle.

I'm rather fond of my maxed out loads with multiple bullets. My 30.06 just isn't very picky and I'm thankful!

H4350/168 Barnes TSX
Re19/168 Barnes TTSX
Re22/180 Scirocco
Re22/200 Accubond
IMR4064/180 Barnes TSX
IMR4064/180 Speer spitzer
Varget/185 Berger VLD

BTW, I've killed a handful of blackbears with that 180 Scirocco. It's an unbelievable bullet, one of, if not THE best bonded bullet available by large commercial bullet makers. In fact, I first loaded them in 2004 and forgot all about the fact that I loaded 200 of them with Federal brass. Just found them beneath my load bench this past weekend.

Who has the best price on bullets? I checked my normal places but they don't carry 30-06 or 308 diam.

Please advise what "normal" place does not stock a 30 caliber bullet?

I buy from powder valley inc., southern shooters supply, or locally at Bass Pro.

Berrys manufacturing. They have some but not what I think I want. Im looking for a heavier bullet than what thy have.
