H414/760 will get you there as well.

I'm currently using Federal HE. I haven't gotten around to sitting down and trying to duplicate it at the reloading bench yet as I have other priorities at the moment.

Or best yet.. run the 30-06 brass through my 338-06 size die. LOL

I have not been happy with 180 partitions in my 300 wtby, John says I would be much happier with 200s there. A stouter bullet.

But since the advent of Barnes, thats the route I"d most likely take.

I have a box of a 100pc of 180gr and 220gr Core-Lokt, I thought about giving them a shot and pick up a pack of 200gr NP.

Been loading 180 swift Sciroccos in my brothers 30-06 to just over 2900 fps with rl-17 and he has great results on game and shoots 3 shots touching out of his Forbes 24" barrel. But phil's 200 Npt load is attractive and I run that same bullet at 2550 out of my 20" barrel .308.

Is a 180 grain insufficient for moose, are these loads with 225 grain bullets for the most part Brown bear loads?

There's nothing wrong with 180's for moose (Partition here)

[Linked Image]

180 Woodleigh didn't cause much suffering either�

The 220 Core-lokt works even when it tumbles some.

Heck, I've even killed a couple with the 190 Interlocks 79S remarked on.

I've had good luck with R-22 in my M700 and any 180-200gr bullet I stick in it. Load workup has been finding where the lands are, picking a seating depth to start, picking a charge of 22 over a 215, shooting tight group, loading up enough to hunt with. Three totally different bullets in a row have worked out just exactly like that. 58gr with 200's to 60 with 180's. Not top end loads, but velocities have been right where I expected, with consistency and accuracy to spare.

For deer, antelope and miscellaneous medium size critters I use factory loads Federal Premium 30-06, 150 grain Sierra Game King BTSP at 2,910fps. Real accurate in my rifle.

For larger critters I use 180 grain Nosler Partitions with Spitzer points, 61 grains RL22, 2,880 fps. The trajectories are close enough that I can switch loads without adjusting my scope.

Actually I have pretty much stopped using the 150s because I bought a new 25-06 that I love.

If I could only get one bullet weight for my '06s, premium or c&c, it would be the 180. 165 would be second choice..

I really don't like the 150s I'm now using, which are performing beyond reproach.....

Lordy, I hate that... smile

JJ Hack seems to be a pretty big fan of the Barnes 165 TSX for an all-around load in the -06.

I load a 165 Interlock over 57 grains of IMR 4350. Does most anything.

A 180 Nosler over RL22 or H1000 in 300WM does alot of work.

In 338, a 225IB over RL22 was used on my last bear. Performed well and very accurate. Could be used for most anything, so that would be my pick for a one gun/one round KISS plan.

as soon as he said mrp I knew that the load had to be fast...that stuff was born to throw bullets really quickly and accurately.
