30-06

hey all, ive been thinking of trying the 220gr SMK in the 30-06 with H4831sc and a 9 1/2 magnum primer. GRT says should be possible to get a bit over 2600fps. Has anyone tried these in a 30-06, all discussions i have found were for 220gr round nose bullets and people pushing them slow. any...

Hi all, about a year ago a friend donated me a Marlin XL7 in 30-06. I really like the rifle but after about 20 rounds through it, the trigger became incredibly light. After taking it apart I found that the set screw for adjusting the trigger pull had come out and completely stripped the...

Has anyone had any experience with this bullet in the 30-06? Running it through a stability calculator it seems like it would stabilize fine in a 1 in 10 30-06. And has anyone used this combo on game?

Last winter I started to develop some hand loads for my 30-06. 57.5 grains of ramshot big game under a 150gr fmj. At the time it chronographed 3067fps, right around what the manuals said it should be. Today I went to sight in the rifle (I got a new arken scope a few days ago and was very...

I am looking into trying a heavier bullet in the 30-06, now that i have some funds to try some new things. I have been planning on using a berger or a sierra. My current concern is with the bergers. I was choosing between the 215 and the 200.20 hybrids. However i see a lot of mixed opinions on...

I have a Weatherby Mark V Hunter chameberd in 30-06 and i am having a hard time getting good grouping. Dose any one have any ammo sugestions? i am hoping to use a monolthoc bullet. Thanks for the input!!!

Hello everyone, I hope this finds everyone doing well. A few months ago I purchased my first rifle, a CVA cascade in 30-06. I've been working on a load to shoot at a local clubs 300 yard competition. I have tried two powders so far (both with the same bullets). Ramshot Big Game and IMR 4350. Big...

Good evening ladies and gents, This is my first post so please excuse me if I’m reviving a beaten/dead horse. Also, I apologize for the novel below…whoops. I grew up shooting and hunting (since I could hold and safely use a firearm). Mind you I was never taught the sciences of shooting, just...

Recently read an article in the shooting times regarding the 30-06 and long range hunting. I picked up some 175 gr Barnes LRX bullets and was initially going to load them with H4350. However, the author of the article mentioned his choice of powder for long range reloading for the 06 would be...

looking for opinions on a new rifle build i was thinking 308 or 30-06 i have currently a 6.5 creedmoor and a .270 but just wanted a 30 caliber gun for availability for bullets And have a bit more knock down power when hunting elk and moose at further distances, i never shot a 308 but heard it...

I’ve been wanting a nice factory gun in 30-06 for a while now and nothing has seemed to catch my eye. But the new Savage has really caught it. Does anyone have any experience with this model, I know the 100 line up has been around since the 50’s, but I’m looking for reviews or personal...

Hi all. A good friend of mine if going to have his Tikka T3 rebarreld shortly in 30-06. He's asked me to reload for him. So i have a few question to those of you that are shooting the 06 with the 178gr ELD-x 1)What coal are you running? 2)If it's a custom barrel was it throuted for them and if...

When posting this, I somehow lost a lot of the content, so attempting to edit it now.... I have a Rem 700 .30-06, and I'm wondering when to retire the brass. With the load my rifle likes, I am seeing light extractor marks occasionally, and slightly cratered primers regularly. I never have bolt...

Does anyone have load data on Hodgdon Superformance for 30-06? Looking for data all the way up to 212gr EDX rounds. My Hornady 9th edition only lists to 168gr. Also, any first hand experience/insights with the powder and 30-06 would be appreciated. Is it Temp. Sensitive with 30-06? I just...
