Managed Recoil 30-06 bullets?
I'm not real sure where this needs to be posted, so I'll post here and maybe some of you guys can help. I'm in desperate need of some Remington Managed Recoil 30-06 loads for an upcoming hunt for my 13 year old daughter. She was drawn for a hunt in 2 weeks, and we shot our last box today at the range. I've been looking high and low locally, but nobody seems to have any in stock. There seems to be a shortage with online suppliers too. Does anyone know where I can purchase this ammo and receive it within 7-10 days?

Able is out, as is EABCO and all the others I could find. I did find some Federal Fusion Lite loads yesterday and picked up 3 boxes. They use a 170gr bullet instead of 125gr, so they clearly will drop more than the Remingtons. But they have less recoil and I was desperate to have something other than a full load. I did find a store here in Dallas that had several boxes of the Remingtons, so I stocked up. I'll still test the Fusion Lite loads to see how low they shoot compared to the Remington Managed Recoil load.

I started using the Rem .30-06 Managed Recoil loads in my rifle a few years back when my daughter started hunting. Since I'm hunting in woods where shots are never more than 75 years, I've just kept using them. They're supposed to be good out to 200 yards that that would cover 99.999% of any of the shots I take.
