Thread: Lightweight loads for 30-06

One of the rifles l have never been able to bring myself to sell is a nearly 20 yr old Rem Mountain rifle in 06 my wife brought me. I have taken it around the world as my back up rifle as a guide, one of the reasons being the ability to use such a wide range of bullet weights effectively for various game.

My go to light load is the 125gn Ballistic Tip & 57gn of AR2208 doing 3300fps, it is a devastating load on everything up to Antelope ,goats & pigs. l sight it in for zero at 200 mtrs with this load which roughly gives it from memory 40 mm high at 100m & 100mm low at 300m,meaning quick shoulder hold all the way out to 300.
