buckmastr229,

Every post to your question is on the money. I switched from the 150 gr bullet to the 125 gr for whitetail in my 30-06. For mule deer last year I loaded 165 gr bullets.

Not trying to be a know it all but, I believe what you have is either the older model 742 or the newer version 7400 (I think that's the current Model #).

The 30-06 will do anything you'll ever want.
