Been a while since I used one, but generally have one around. The one I have now likely will stay, an FN in a nice piece of uncheckered walnut with a Lyman 57FN, made the year I was born. The ‘06 is really a bit overkill for our skinny whitetails, but certainly works. These days I load some of the small pile of 150gr NPs to .308 power levels. That has shot well in everything I tried it in, and killed the one deer I shot with it very dead indeed. Previously I killed a few with the notorious 165gr Sierra GKHP, which grinds your burger for you….
People don’t talk much about the ‘06, they just use it…..
