Having read through most of the recipes for 06 here, and just starting to load for it myself, I have noticed that no one makes mention of using Win 760. I only bring this up because I have been offered a new 8lb jug of it and the reloading books all show it as a good powder for the 06. Any opinions or experiences to share out there?
My .30/06 loves 760 by the bucket load. A favored load is 150gn Partitions over 62gn for 3080fps. 59grains with 180's tops 2800fps plus, and cases fall out of the chamber.
My loads tend to be a little higher than you see around here because of my sloppy chamber.
THe 220's zip into .5MOA using 55 grains in my rifle and many blokes are using charges around that with 180's so it pays to beware of recommended loads. These are mine for a reason, they are mine.
I do however, recommend you grab that keg while it is available. 8 pounds can kill a lot of game.
