Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

I grew up with them and was the oddball who carried a Ruger M77 30-06. I did inherit my Grandfathers 760 which is worth more than gold when I think of seeing it leaned in a corner of the kitchen amongst the orange clad men gathered for coffee after hours during hunting season. Miss those days. I try to take it out atleast once a year, just because. Did take a buck with it last year, no monster but meant alot to me. The more small game hunting I do with my wingmasters, the better the 760 shoulders for me.

For those who handload for them, do you load them down a grain or so? I've had good luck with 165/180 SP, but want to find a good 180 Round Nose load. Tried Hornadys with 760 and got bad results. Got some Cor-loks to try this winter.
