[QUOTE="PantherCreekFarms, post: 727364, member: 57539"] My brother uses 165 grain Nosler AccuBond bullets with 47.0 grains of Hodgdon BenchMark powder, Federal Gold Medal Match GM210M primers, Winchester Nickel brass, about 0.02" off the lands with a very slight crimp. That load seems to work best in his 30-06. (I have tried to convince him to use better brass, but he got these and is happy with them, so I leave it alone ;-) The AccuBond performs really good as far as instant kills at decent ranges. I wish I could give you a more extensive kill report, as this isn't my gun. I can give you much more details on the bullet performance with my Browning 300 Win Mag with 180 grains. But his 30-06 seems to have no problems dropping them where they stand. My son just got his first hunting rifle and he went with a BSA 30-06 with a beautiful walnut/rosewood monte carlo stock. He will be using the same exact load above that my brother uses. I also have bought 200 of the new 300 grain Nosler AccuBonds for my .338 Lapua Magnum I just purchased. So obviously I am a little biased on the AccuBonds. But for 30-06 my brother swears by them for 100-600 yard shots that deliver instant kill shots. [/QUOTE]
