180 Nosler Partition - 30-06 load. - 08/31/08
I have found soe pretty good loads for the '06 over the years, and the neat thing is, I keep finding some more. Yesterday, I took Maw Shootist to the range to get her ready for bullwinkle hunting. She did a very good job with her new to her moose load -- 150 TSX with a manageable load of H4895. Shot just over an inch -- not too shabby for the first time shooting this year.
I tried several loads. One was dowright dismal. One was showing promise, and the last one impressed me. The one with promise was a 180 Partition loaded with 58 gr of H4831sc. Just under an inch, but not significantly. The one that impressed me was 59 gr of H4831sc with the same partition. Two through the same hole, and a third close enough you couldn't say it was a flier. Liking it, and still in love with the old warhorse -- 30-06 forever!
