Thread: 170 FN .30-06

Anyone else loading this combo for bush hunting?

is @Carlson Highway on board?


I tried 150gr FN initially, for the 30-30 but in the 30-06... i loaded around 46g of 2206h at first and shot some Fallows durin the Rut, i pulled the remaining 150 FN an replaced them with 170gr FN interlocks and have just sighted these in for some trigger time mostly but to shoot a Sambar with one day when i run into another one..

these compliment the 180gr PPSN woodleigh load of 45gr 2208 and i am hoping to find a sweet spot for both loads to use side by side... the 180 PPSN are solid Stag medicines an the 170gr FN should hold up very well for say 200m over summer, wont be useless on a Fallow either i wouldnt rekon.

i am keen to test the trajectory though for schit an gigs side by side with a pointed round.. let yas know when that happens.
