I have the 06 in the handi and with reloads out of the box will print 3 shots uder 7/8 at the 100 yd target.I will say I do have little problems with sticky cases after firing in the 06.I also had a 45-70 in the Buffalo Classic which did shoot excellent and never had sticky cases in the 45-70.I think for the money you can't go wrong I would shoot over to graybeard forum and see what they say about the cal. you are looking at.
