[QUOTE="GuntherRLII, post: 2355304, member: 75730"] ,30-06 seems a bit more fussy than some cartridges I've worked with but to be honest 19 out of 22 were made before 1936. Most kept similar bullets of the same weight pretty close together except 180 Nosler Partitions. Some had to be sighted with any bullet change With the same load several shot 3 inches right and 8 inches low. I have worked with 2 .270's that did the exact same thing with 130 Partitions and these rifles throw everything but those in the same group. From 100 Hornadys to those 155 Herters banana peels so I would use whatever I could find that was cheap and shoot cats. I run mostly 180's in the 06 using around 60 grains of H4831 but back in the day 56 of IMR 4350 also worked well. For the M1 I stick to 150 ish and H4895. I tried some 165's for my Gramps in law years ago but never really liked them. They didn't shoot too bad out of his old mil surp Peruvian but that was the hardest rifle to shoot that ever existed.
