First time I tried Hunter that bullet weight was in 2007 with 185-grain Berger Hunting VLDs--before they were even called "Hunting" VLDs. Three-shot groups averaged a little over half an inch at 100 from my Ultra Light Arms Model 24--but the same basic charge has also worked well in a wide variety of other .30-06s, including a Sauer drilling with 180 Partitions.

Thanks John! Iā€™m going to fiddle with that load range next week. The weather up here has allowed more range time šŸ˜œ
