[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 1925724, member: 100742"] HI Buddy, Its Lenny. 30-06 definitely NOT dead . Not talking about the Big Brown bears of the north , or African dangerous game right now . . If a guy had to have just one rifle for all his hunting , ( Lord Forbid ) , an accurate Bolt action rifle, in 30-06 would be a top choice. It was great when it was new , and its even better today thanks to very intelligent bullet design. Loads will involve the use IMR or H 4350, and 165 grn bullets and 180 Grn . I happen to like Nosler Ballistic Tips, and Accubonds for hunting, but there are many other great ones. I'm a big .270 Win Fan for deer, but I have two 30-6 rifles I love. One is an Inter arms Mark X Mauser action, 20 Inch Barrel, Manlicher ( Spelling ) stock. I use 55 .5 grns. IMR 4350 , 165 Grn bullet. That's my NY state , Maine , woods Rifle. The other is a fully Engraved FN rifle, with German Claw Mounts , and Dual Set Triggers. Ill send you some pictures. [/QUOTE]
