[QUOTE="crashlanding, post: 1887536, member: 44614"] I acquired a ragged husqvarna 1640 30.06 2 years ago as a project gun to keep me occupied during the winter, cleaned her up, bedded the action. My goal was to have an odd 6 that I didn’t need to load for, I shot core loks, Winchester super x, federal blue box and ppu through it with good results for a rifle that was old as me, 63, it could hold groups under 1 3/4. While down in Pagosa springs Colorado I visited a local gun shop to kill some time, fellow behind the counter had an old 03 Springfield that was sporterized and swore by this Hornady precision hunter 178 eldx so I bought a box, about choked on the price. It shot well enough through my rifle that I’m currently working on re loading the same bullet using h4350 which is defeating the whole purpose of this rifle, it was supposed to shoot only factories but I am what I am, always looking to better a project. As for killing anything with it, not yet, my daughter always spots the elk first so she gets first shot, good for her, bad for me, she never misses [/QUOTE]
