[QUOTE="longgun505, post: 2194645, member: 116648"] I have two -06’s, one pre 64 70 featherlight that runs two loads. 180SST’s for elk, black bear, and Muley. 165 TGK’s for speedgoats, whitetails, wolf, mountain cats (cougar), and the like. The 165’s shoot flatter/faster, so for the longer shots in eastern MT it gets the nod. the second -06 is a Remington 7600. It’s strictly a thick terrain hunter and shots rarely see 300yds. Because that same terrain has a distinct possibility of surprises of the tooth and claw variety, the load is 200gr Barnes TSX, and moving as flat fast as it will go out of the 22” barrel. Not pleasant to shoot for extended strings on the bench, but when the adrenaline is pumping you won’t even notice recoil🤣🤣 [/QUOTE]
