30-06

[Jagare]

I use 220 gr along with my go to 180gr oryx or interlocks for Boar

What advantage do's the 220grn give you over the 180grn Oryx or Interlocks?

Probably not much of anadvantage but I picked up some 220 gr bullets for very little and also got 40rounds of Sako factory ammo for less than the cost of the brass alone! They all work well on Wild Boar And are just as accurate as the 180s in my Sauer.

Here is the last word!!! If one is a traditionalist, get a 30-06. If not get either. load with 165 Partitions and worry about Trump or Corbin! capt david

I just loaded up a mild batch of 220-gr RN for the .30-03 Winchester 1895, duplicating the original .30 U.S. Army load. Normal hunting load for the old gal is 180-gr RN at 2,500 fps.

I used to have a 1895 repro in 30-06 i intended to re barrel it to 9.3x62 and fit a micro red dot on the top of the bolt but in the end i sold it as it was just to nice to spoil

That would have been a really interesting rifle , I have seen a few browning repro 95's re-barreled to 35 Whelen over the years . Rifle magazine did an article on one by Dave Scoville re-barreled in , predictably , the 375 Scoville . All potent , and very similar , big game rounds . One day .

I had am 8x60S Maurer that I used with 196 grain bullets. When three years ago I found a Parker Hale M81 Classic in .30-06 I determined that I'd use heavy bullets in it. So hot three hundred 200 grain Sierra Gameking from a member here. I''ve always liked loads just above the 2,450 fps mark and, of course, heavy bullets at just above that speed require less powder to be loaded behind the bullet.

Anyone try rs62 powder in their 3006

 

[Southern]

A mildly loaded 125-gr bullet is great from the .30-06, if you can find a compliant powder to get close to some of the reduced loads for the M1 Garand matches on 200 meter reduced targets at 200 meters. Somewhere between 2,500 and 2,600 fps out of a 22 inch barrel is where you want to be.

There is one of those out there somewhere. One of the mad Finns on instagram put a red dot an 1895 chambered in 7.62x54r...

Found it. I don't think anything was bubba'd to do this, either, just a mount for the Aimpoint fitted on the front sight block

I've not but I understand it was developed with the 7x64 in mind so would think it can work well.

Any one try rs 62

Just starting to work up a load using 165 gr accubonds, very early days on this, but have found two accuracy nodes and now working on COAL. Looks like it needs near max case fill. RS reckon its close to IMR 4350 but I am not 100% sure on this. Quick Load shows 4350 producing more pressure per grain than RS62.. RS62 is easy to work with, it dispenses well.
Will be working on a load over the next weeks.

I have a 30-06 sauer using 150gr sst rounds for fallow and sika
I have shot roe with it and not found it done any more damage than anything else

Thanks let me know how you get on

 

[A Guy Out West]

Winchester760 with 165 gr bullets has worked very well for me.

Well, I will try to give you an opinion, bearing in mind that I know xxxx all and much of my information will have been gleaned from getting rid of the waffle listening to people who seem to have a good idea what they are talking about and some who are far more anal about some things.
So, calibre, yes it is a good calibre and there is a simplistic answer but so is the 308 and the 270 and the 6.5x55 and many many more. Sorry don't know how much experience you have, distance your shooting out to. Well let's assume between 50 and 150 yards. Which is what I do. If you can put the bullet in the correct place then a 243 will happily do the job. A 30.06 will give you the same result but with a bigger margin of error.
I don't reload so I buy straight from the shop. I'm currently using 150 grain hornadys at the moment which are doing the job. I shoot mainly Munties and roe. It seems to be ok. Doesn't blow the muntie up which is good. Why do I use 150 grain? well because someone recommended them as it would cover me for anything that is legal in this country. I seem to recall someone shooting musk ox with 3006 and 150 grain on one of the shooting channels.
I don't like hard recoil and these seem to be ok. I am getting to a point that I would like to experiment with different heads but that will be a year or so away unless I shoot a lot more or somebody wants to come let me play with their various bullets and private 100 meter range. I don't do a lot of paper punching.
So if that is your starting point then you won't go far wrong. I am now wondering if may 120 grain would be better on roe, but there seems to be a lot of talk about slow heavy bullets rather than light and fast.
Just checked the forcast so it looks like showers tomorrow night so I'm going to try hitting the bunnies. And maybe if I can have a go at long netting. That could be fun. Also I have just sorted out with my local pub that they will swap beer for rabbits. Huzzah. Err, I think I may have started rambling again. Time to shut up.
Or should we talk rifle make?

Like you mate I don't reload( great reply to the post by the way, sounds like myself)

I'm waiting for my 30 06 variation to land, does a 150 gr bullet out of a 30 06 shoot flatter than the same weight out of a 308?? Ie longer case more powder etc?? Can the more expert shooters let me know please,

Kjf

 

[captdavid]

Way too many variables, But in general terms, both shot one inch high a100yds the 308 is good to about 225yds and the 30-06 to 250ydscapt david

 

[VanGogh76]

Just starting to reload for this, have 180gr Nosler Hunting load sorted (Roughly) and have 165gr Nosler Partition ready to develop, both using RS60, not looked at RS62 yet anyone else done this?
