    30 06

    Anybody running the, 178gr eld-X,165gr sst, or 165gr Game changer in the 30 06?

    I had a very accurate,with cheaper factory ammo [Winchester 150gr sp] in a Remington Bdl, so naturally I mucked with it and turned it into someting else

    I then bought a Husky 1600 in 30 06 to replace it with as my 1600 in 9.3 shoots sub moa easily, again, naturally the new 1600 does not fancy the factory Winchester, of which, naturally, I bought heaps of packets for when the Remington was going. 9
    Sure the Husky it's hunting accuracy either side of of 1.5 for three shots with that ammo but you know......

    So while the Remington was still going I neck sized heaps of once fire cases for Ron and fuck me days when tried them in the Husky I had the most unbelievable luck. yep
    They wouldn't fit.

    Borrowed a F/L sizer [ previously only had a Neck and Seater] from Blue Cod, Thanks, loaded 4 each for a ladder of 165 sst and 178 ELD-X
    not interested in 150 155 gr etc, going to run them with the V3 attacheed to the barrel for speed and as it will be attached to all maybe an indication of where to start
    All loads at COAL.All run through the Husky action easily, Now

    In all honesty I'd have tried Sierra Gk's or tipped or Hornady BTSP if I could find any but most folk seem to like the fancy tip and thats what was available for me.

    Any one else working on a 30 06.
