I dusted off one of my boring old .30-06s this fall. Have killed more big game with my NULA Model 24 than any other rifle since acquiring it in 1997, but hadn't hunted with it in a while. So worked up a new load with the 175-grain Barnes LRX, using IMR4451. When I got to the max load listed it grouped three in half an inch, and it managed to take down a mule deer doe at 327 yards, rear-quartering shot that damaged very little meat. Don't usually use that much gun (or bullet) on mule deer does, but that part of our local valley has a grizzly or two wandering around....
