You boys play nicely now! Toby be careful who you pick on pal, R93 was part of the mean green fighting machine that Neckshot, Dundee and I werevpart of so picking on him should worry you as Neckshot, Dundee and I have his back.
Yep and Perrazi (spelling) is Poo Art See.Quote:

I've always had good results from my 3006. It is a pretty light rifle and not plesant to shoot off the bench, but can't say I've ever noticed any recoil lining up on an animal. From memory nothing has ever taken more than a couple of steps.Quote:

Cheers for the offer but hardly worth it for the amount it gets used.
OK boys and girls
Just came back from running a few loads through my BSA Majestic 24" barrel using 150gr Interlocks and 63.5gr RE 19 which is quite a stout load, over the Chronie at 3020fps with a variation of 5 -17fps which ain't too bad. Good grouping at an inch so a massive hunting load. Same loads through my BSA Monarch 18 1/2" Barrel 2690fps average, group size actually came down from my normal bush load for this rifle and into less than an inch so pretty happy with that, I just had to know what I was getting after reading this thread. I loaded a few 220gr pills as well and got 2440fps but with a little load development could probably do better but fuck it, I don't need any better so I will spare my rifle and shoulder the wear and tear
the first rifle I shot was a Weatherby Vanguard in 30-06 and it definitely let you know when the hammer had dropped.
My latest acquisition is a Husqvarna 30-06 circa 1970s courtesy of the guys at Mainly Hunting in Welly. Saw it and wanted it, beautifully smooth bolt action in a classic mauser action weighing in around 8lbs bare.
I had a new Hogue recoil pad fitted and with 180gr Federal Blue it recoils softer than my 308 Rem.
Love it and cant ever see selling it.Attachment 18414
I'm sure you do, by the back of the neck that is :DQuote:

Hey, if you like the TTSX's, and want velocity, try the 110 TTSX, in my heavy barrel 20" 308 I can get 3375 if I ignore the pressure signs, backed off to 3300, pressure signs gone and half to three quarter'' accuracy, out to 300 yards, kills just as fast as the 130, but they start falling outa the sky after that, but you do gotta use the right powder, 2208 no good to me in a short barrel, but in a 3006 might be good, would like to see how fast a 110 could go in a 3006, the little fuckers kill like a lightning strike at 200- who needs a 270!.............Quote:

Both have made most things that they were aimed at lie down and wait for the trip to the freezer. I think that that 30-06 is not that popular as the mainstream media in this country have written about the latest and greatest for as long as the importers have had $ to place ads for the newest thing on their shelves. Just my thoughts
I get 3032 av for 5 shots with 150 interlocts using 54.5 gr of IMR4064. Everything died quick. I have now gone to 165 gr interlocts an AR2209. No great difference in results on animals I just wanted to play around with the same powder I use in the 260Quote:

Don't know if You can use my reloading data. I use Norma 204 and 203 B in my 30.06.
the 30-06 Springfield is over 100 years old and because of modern powders, components, and bullets it is better than ever. the 150 grain pills are within an inch of the .270 at practical ranges and it kills like lighting.
it handles 180 grain and 200 grain better than a .308 because the brass case is a tad larger. ammo is available worldwide. it just plain works. the recoil is a bit more than a .308, but not much more. an enjoyable article
on the versatility of the cartridge is as follows:
American Rifleman | No Ordinary Rifle
or google .... American rifleman harry Selby no ordinary rifle
the article chronicles the use of a plain ordinary Remington M722 30-06 spr. used in numerous African safaris over a good many years. the title could be "no ordinary caliber". the 30-06 was used to take all manner of antelope, plus leopards, lions, and even a cape buffalo. it is a very good article and is as much about Harry Selby's bush craft and game knowledge and shot placement as anything else.
Cool article bill f. I like the 30/06. Will rebarrel my Howa .270 in a few years time, or perhaps just buy one, team it up with a .243 and I'll be covered. Actually will need to add a .416 then totally sorted :)
My next calibre. Anyone have a Ruger Hawkeye (SS) in 30-06 they are interested in selling please PM ?
That would be an excellent combo Puffin.
I started hunting in Fiordland with a .30-06 (sporterised Garand) in 1967 and still use two. A Husqvarna with an 8x56 Zeiss for open country, and my custom-made M17 long range rifle with a mildot 6-24 Sightron SIII for 1000 metre shooting. For bush and similar shorter range hunting I have a Remington Model 7 in .308 with a 3-9 Leupold. Having said that, I have still shot more animals with a .303 than the others combined, as I started out with one in 1963 and was commercially shooting with it in 1966 when the choppers were just starting up.
I was shooting in upper half of the South Island in those days so they were fairly safe. The only moose I have seen were dead and hanging on a wall (the last one was in the Swazi shop in Levin).Quote:

I bought a CZ 223 yesterday, another wood/blue no plastic job
Took it and the 06 out for a run , the 06 easily shot inside the Cz.
mind you the CZ was only 20 rds old and I had no reloads a only factory hornady.
