What a cool and timely thread, I bought a corn cob? forearm 760 in 30-06 from an old Gent buddy of mine in 1991, he has recently passed, iirc the rifle is a 1957 year model, I have never fired it, did load up some 165gr Speer hot-cors with the prescribed max charge [61gr] of IMR-4831 at 3.300 col, pulled the old rifle out of the big safe his morning, unscrewed the Weaver rings and put the 2-7 Redfield on the table, will go out when the rain quits and zero the factory barrel sights, then re-mount the old Redfield and zero it two inches high at 100 yards.

I never chronographed the load, I don't think it's going to matter for white tail deer this side of 200 yards, I love the old rifle, it doesn't seem to rattle too much, as said, any deer that hears that is on the way to dying.


Trump Won!
