Thanks for the replies. I appreciate any information I can get. Yes, I plan on orking up a good "all around" load for my 30-06. I am a bit anal about bullet performance and accuracy. I dont find inaccurate rifles to be interesting at all. I am well aare that 1 MOA has been claimed to be perfect for a hunting arm, I disagree. Besides, working up loads is a much better use of my time than sitting in a bar.
