[QUOTE="Nvhunter, post: 214096, member: 11885"] Last year I handloaded Speer 165 Gr Spitzer Boat Tails with H414 - 50 Grains and Standard Large rifle primers. Good results. 8000 Ft elevation, 275 Yds 32 degree uphill slope. 4X4 Mulie in the freezer & no damage to the meat. This load is a reduced load for that cartridge. I am looking for less drop between 200-500Yds this year. I am going to increase the speed of the round initially by increasing the H-414 Grain charge while initially sticking with the 165gr SPBT Speer bullets. I may move to a lighter bullet with a better BC, but I do not want to loose the stability in winds by moving to a bullet that is too light for wind @ 15-40 Knts. What have you other 30.06 shooters found to be a good performing handload. IE. Bullet manufacturer, Bullet weight and style, Powder type and charge, primer. Your feedback is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
