Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Any love for the 30/06

Yes, after all these years I still handload, shoot and hunt with the 30-06 cartridge. Most often with my Remington 700 CDL, topped by a 6x Leupold. It's taken grizzly, black bear, elk, mule deer, antelope and probably something I'm forgetting. Typically use a 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip at 2940 fps via H4350, but have also used a number of other bullets and a couple of different powders in recent years including Ramshot Hunter, and H4831. Berger's 180 gr Elite Hunter did well on a muley buck at 350 yards, and Hornady's 178 gr ELD-X did well on a cow elk at 405 yards. For the grizzly I loaded 200 gr Nosler Partitions, which worked well.
