I had a heavy 30-06 built back in 2000. It's a 16-pound rifle. It shoots everything (handload) I've tried with consistent sub-moa accuracy.

I have a sporter weight 30-06 that is picky about what it likes. Shoots fair to middlin' with medium weight bullets, doesn't like the heavies.

This is the heavy rifle,




Most common load is 208 AMax at 2700 fps.

Here are some examples of 100-yard groups with various bullets from the heavy rifle,
