Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Good 30/06 Loads

For what it's worth I'm getting the same POI and good accuracy at 100 yards with these two loads from my Model 70:

Sierra 150 Pro Hunters with 50 grs. of 4064.
Nosler 125 Ballistic Tips with 52 grs of RL15.

With three 3 shot groups each the 150s are grouping around 3/4" and the 125s less than 1/2". Chronied the Sierras at 2824 and the Noslers at 2860.

Someone here said the Nosler manual could be pretty optimistic on velocity and in this case I agree. According to their #5 manual the above load gets 3136 with a 24" barrel. My barrel's been cut to 22" but that's still a big difference. YMMV.
