Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 30-06, 200 gr, Re 23 or Re 26 recipes?

Well, I know it's not a 30-06, but if you really want to kill elk in "the timber", get yourself a 45-70 with a good loading for a tough 400-405 grain bullet.................you'll be impressed with how it kills.

And, yes, I do like the 200 gr Partition in the 'o6 as well & as to that round in the timber, the elk is never gonna know the difference between 2600 & 2700 FPS.........................now, at 6 or 700 yards, that's a different can of worms................just sayin'.

So I can see obsessing over the velocity in open mountain hunting, not in "the timber".
