Default RE: Bullets for 30-06

Actually cybersniper.
I would expect that50.9 grain load, which is rather mild,to be a good shooting load with either the Pro-Hunter or Gameking. Also, because of the velocity, I would expect expansion to be very good without the bullet coming apart. Early on, I would push .30-06 loads to the listed max, and beyond, and what I usually (not always)got was reduced accuracy and bullets blowing apart. The wisdom of age has caused me to reduce my loads to below max, andhave gotten better accuracy,better performance with cup and core bullets, and no reductionin drts.

Falcon,
I, too, have been rather underwhelmed by the premium bullets, both in accuracy and action.I see no need for them for deer/black bear sized animals.But, if others want to use them, more power to them. The economy needs all the help it can get.
