a good load for a 30-06

[MOWITCH SLAYER]

I always shot a 300 win. mag with my own 180gr. hand loads. But sat. night i won a 30-06 at the local game banquet (the food was awesome). I'm thinking on loading something a little different than what i have been using. Trying to keep the tissue damage down a little. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I have been shooting hornady 150gr gmx superformance with awesome results - i can put 3 rounds in the paper at 100yds and all the holes are touching and merged into one.

56.5 IMR 4350 with barnes tsx 168 grain.. Thats in a winchester featherweight.. 1/2 groups..

Hornady 190 gr BTSP over 53.4 gr of IMR 4350. Drops them quick with very little damage.

58 grains of RL22, behind a 200 grain Partition,,,2760 fps kills fast no meat lost,,,takes more to open a heavier bullet than it does a light one.

57 grn of IMR 4350 under 180 or 165 Interbonds. Works great with either!

Using 165 hornady superformance with my tikka t3, great performance!

I use 61 grains of Hodgdon 4831 to push my 180's...

Love the 3 feet of flame I get in low light conditions...

They do kick, though...

I run 60 of imr4350 and either GMX or SST 150's in mine.

H 414, the 30-06's secret powder. Also had great luck with imr 4064 with those plain jane 150 gr hornady flat based interlocks, used those just for punching paper in 2 different 30-06 rifles now, very accurate.

I run 60 of imr4350 and either GMX or SST 150's in mine.
I use the same bullets; H4350 59gr SST/57gr GMX.

I shoot a 168g gmx bullet with 56.5g of powder I think, on the road so don't quote me on the powder weight.
