    IYO, Best .30-06 Rnd for Target/Hunting?

    The OP asked IN 2009 what the best combo TARGET and HUNTING projectile was.. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that it is not a soft point. Another guess might be that after 9 years, the OP has likely chosen a projectile! Not that there is anything wrong with discussing the Grand...

    The TRG-S and TRG are two different rifles. The TRG-s talked about in the links is a traditional bolt action, hunting oriented rifle, versus a TRG, which is a purpose built precision rifle.

    Were you are now what would you tell yourself as a beginner?

    I would tell myself not to end up buying/building 12-18 custom rifles, and try every cartridge out there, figuring out what I liked. Instead, I would tell myself to buy 2 TRGs. A TRG-22 in 6.5 something, or .308 and A TRG-42 in .300 WM. Top them both with MIL/MIL 5.5-22 Nightforce scopes...

    Proof Research .300 Win Mag Build

    Really you need to have the rifle in hand so you can expedite the handloading process and develop a load specifically for your rifle if you want to wring out the utmost accuracy possible. Much faster that way.

    As a TRG owner, and owner of multiple examples of custom guns, I would buy the TRG and be done.
