Re: Optics Questions- Please help!!!
I would reccomend you get the Leupold Mark 4 10X40 M3(mildot reticle). This is a really good set up for this rifle. Go with the Mark 4 rings and mounts and be done with it. You can get custom dials for it from leupold if you choose a different bullet...
Re: Does this load for my 5r sound right?
I have the same setup. I also use varget, but I'm in the 43-44 grain range with the 175 SMK. I did load some with 45 grains and did not notice any increase in velocity just more inconsistant velocities. My experience with this rig is to go with the...
Re: Single stage presses. Hornady vs the Rock Chucker
My experience with the press is this: I have only used RCBS. So, I can only comment on RCBS. If you go with the RockChucker find one of the older ones. I have had mine for years with no complaints. I did buy a new one (the new version) for...
Re: Reloading scales
I went to a RCBS chargemaster. It was the best money I've spent on reloading equipment in the last 20 years. Has a trickler built in if you need it but it usually measures so well and precise there is no need for a trickler or anything else. I highly reccomend it. I had...
Re: sierra matchkings
Of course you will get mixed reviews but I can say I have shot whitetails when I lived back east with matchkings. I used a 22-250 back then and shot a whitetail with one shot in the heart/lung area. He was dead instantly. Never had any problems.

Re: 30 06 handloads
Thanks DHD. I have a Remington 700 with 24 inch fluted barrel, mounted in a Mcmillan HTG that's bedded, Jewell trigger set at 1 lb.Planning on mounting a Mark 4 Leupold 10X M3 with the Mark 4 mounts and rings.
I'm looking for a good combination to start with loading the 30 06. I see alot of info for the .308 of course but not the 30 06. I would like you guys to give me your input if anyone still uses the 30 06 for longe range shooting. Now I know every rifle has it's own sweet spot and you have to...
