I agree that the 180 grain load is the do-it-all load for the 06. If I were to go to the lighter weights, I think I would stick to the Barnes or Failsafes, and opening up on varmints be damned. It's not like a 165 though the chest of a PD isn't going to kill the little booger. Flying flesh is overrated. (OK, Critr Gitr, I'm ready [Linked Image]).<P>Jim
