Got me an 06 this past Christmas. Have loaded a little for it. Dad gave it to me, and has some data...but all for 165s. I don't know why, as I don't need them on our Alabama deer, but I bought some 180 Accubonds for my 300 winnie, and I just hanker to shoot them in the '06.
Gun is a custom Mauser 98 with a 23.6" bbl. What kind of velocity can I reasonably expect? What loads have worked for any of you with 180s? Anybody use 180 Accubonds on deer from an '06? Any other 180s on deer at '06 velocity that you'd recommend? Will they expand on our small deer at '06 velocity?
My current load is 61grs of R-22 with a 165 Hornady at about 2850fps. Good load, just want to try 180s and see. Suggestions please!
