Today is gonna be a fun time at the range...
I put a new Pro Staff 3x9 on my 30-06 BDL yesterday and shot it with a scope for the first time. All I can say is WOW! It dearly loves the 150 gr Federal hi-shoks. I have tons of 06 ammo here so i have 7 different groups of 3 to try today. Different makes and weights. Got all of the big 3 in weights of 150,165 and 180.
Also shot some Nosler solid bases out of the 7-08....first reloads for the 08...looked very very promising. Initial testing had groups as tight as its beloved core lokts. Its a middle of the road mild load though.
