Scotch_egg Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'm looking to reload my 3006 brass for deer stalking could someone advise what powder, head combination is best Ian best bet is go to the passion for stalking site and look for topics by 3006man. He has plenty of info on the 3006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 A few decades back it was written that a person could try two already proven accurate loads for the 30-06 each weekend and die of old age before they got through the list. I own four 30-06 rifles and have yet to find an inaccurate load in any good reloading manual. If you have a suitable powder on hand, pick up an appropriate bullet and start from there; You're bound to come up with a good load of your own. For myself, I prefer heavy bullets (165 and above) and slow powders like IMR 4831, H-4831, or the 4350's for the heavier bullets. THE match load for Springfield 1903 and M1 Garand rifles used to be with a 165 grain bullet of choice and 44 grains of IMR 4895. The velocity from my Match 03-A3 is around 2600 ft/sec and it will group as well as I can hold out to a few hundred yards. The velocity isn't the tops but brass and your shoulder will last forever. The 30-06 is a fine cartridge. Enjoy. ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakoboomstick Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Toby, that is with a sako 75 action with a 26" lothar Walther heavy fluted S/S barrel in 30.06 AI, in a sako dark grey laminated stock. it shoots most thing really well, i have only really used bullets from 110gn vmax up to 180gn round nose and a whole assortment in between, nothing much heavier. i would say the 167gn are the sweetest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
