Default RE: 30 06 shooters

When I shoot factory loads in the 30-06, I like the Federal Blue Box ammo loaded with 150 grain Speer GS bullets. They adversise 1910 fps and thats just what the clocked from my 7600 Rem. In my gun they were also very accurate.
That was a typo should have been 2910fps for the 150gr GS (federal blue box). They don't load this bullet in a reduced load!

150-180 grain will work. Price being an issue then look at federal blue boc, winchester x and rem corelokt. Though the only way is trial and error. Maybe you'll get lucky and pick a great shooting bullet of the bat. Then again maybe not, but look at the bright side at least you'll get more shooting in that way and enjoy your new rifle even more.

Huntingmay not bethe cheapest way to put meat on the table but recon it is a fun way too!
