Howdy Folks
I reloaded some .30-06 for my fried the other day. He went to the range and the factoy ammo was shooting something like 2" groups and the stuff I loaded for him was lucky to get 7". I don't have any experence with this round so I'm after suggestions.
Here's what I loaded for his BAR
180 gr Hornady BTSP Interlock
44 gr Varget (starting load, this kicked more than the factory) I weighed every drop to within 1/2 a grain
C.O.L. 3.305 to 3.307" minimum is 3.300"
No crimp. With this load the cannelure is way out of the brass.
Winchester Brass (new full length resized)
Remington 9-1/2 Primers
Anyone have experence with the BAR and reloads that can give me some direction. I want to keep the bullet weight up there for "Cochrane Cow" (moose) hunting.
Thanks
