3006

Would like some input on the durability of my older Savage 110E action currently chambered in 30-06 with blind mag. I am curious if this is a rifle that can be a good, durable "all purpose" rifle. I plan to swap to a bull barrel in same caliber with a M40 B&C stock. It will be used for anything...

Im looking at possibly getting a rifle for each of these calibers. I want a 30-06 just for the fact that my father passed on many tens of thousands of rounds of AP surplus and m1 garand surplus ammunition along with RCBS dies, a bullet puller, and other reloading supplies for this round. A ruger...

After a long 16 month wait, I finally picked up my new .30-06 from Cactus Weapons, even though they forgot to include my additional magazine and bipod... Rem 700 action LW-50 1:10 26" #7 Manners T4A PT&G Bolt Seekins Base and Rings BO M5 Bottom metal Rifle Basix trigger S&B PM II 4-16x50...

I'm looking for a good bullet for tactical comps. I know a lot of the .308 guys use 155's. I figure with the 06's case advantage I can use a heavier bullet and get simular drop numbers with better wind fighting abilities. I was thinking of using the Lapua 170 Lock base or the Lapua 185 D46...

First I'll introduce myself as this is my first post. My name is Mike. I'm from Spokane, WA. This forum by far exceeds what I have found for information on sniper central, so thank you to all of you for contributing your info. Now on to the reason I'm posting.... I have a 700 SPS...

I have an old hunting rifle. Remington 700 in 30-06. I'm pretty new to the forum and its been a while since I've been on here... Can I buy a .308 barrel say off of a sps-v and put it on my old 30-06 receiver? An old long action 308? Like a m24. thanks

The wait was worth it.... Thanks Randy! I will shoot her tomorrow but here are some pics. I did the paint myself so don't hold it against Randy. Rem 700 Long Action worked over by Randy, of course Gen 1 Bolt Knob Bartlien 1-10 twist barrel (M24 contour) - (Painted by me) Rifle basix trigger...

Hi, I need some help selecting a good load for a moose with a 30-06. My father (the man with the tag) has hunted with his rem. 760 for over 30 years and doesn't want to use anything else. With him being so use to this gun, he would struggle using any other gun in the heat of the moment. Right...

My dad and I both have semi-auto remingtons in 30-06. I am looking for a hard hitting and pretty flat shooting load. I have a load for my 30-06 that is a bolt gun. I am jut afraid that it is way to hot for an semi-auto loading system. I was shooting 165 gr. Nosler boat-tail ballistic tips in...

Will it work for just neck sizing?

Only 2 calibers I am interested in due to various issues which one the best for long range 800 to 1000 thanks

I purchased a used R&D rifle from hide member Adam B a few months ago. Rem. 700 L/A Rock 26.5" fluted barrel w/ vias brake ACIS 1.5 Using Adam's reloading data: 190SMK 61gr. RE-22 Fed. 210 Win. brass I took the rifle out to 642yd. (longest range I have access to.) this afternoon. These are the...

I just finished building a .30-06 and want to stretch its legs. What loads are people using to get this past 1K?

I know the Military replaced the 30'06 in the fifties with the .308. Question, if you had two new GAP Crusader rifles with the same barrel length, one in .308 the other in 30'06 would there be a huge difference in accuracy in the two rifles out to a 1000 yards? I am guessing it boils down to the...

I was thinking of getting one from the group buy here but someone there offered me a barreled action and was wondering how good their barrels were? Anybody here have a barrelled action from them. Thanks

Hey Guys I have a Howa 30-06 26" barrel 1-10 twist. I'm starting to reload and I use this gun for Hunting and wanted to load VLD's thinking of 180 grain not sure on components to go along with? I have serched around but not much on VLD's and 30-06 Thanks GMAC

Good morning All, I was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction. I am developing loads for my Sako 30-06 in an attempt to make it as accurate as possible. It has a 1 in 11 twist. As I understand it, all individual rifles have thier own "sweet spot" or "happy load". I have just...

Looking for some load data for a 30-06 AI using 180gr bullets. I will be using Speer 180 RN and Sierra 180 Spitzer flat based bullets. I have both commercial and military brass. I have AA2520, IMR 4320, IMR 4350, RL-19, IMR 4831 and H-870 powders on the shelf. Any data would sure be helpful...

RL-22 is backordered like everything else but stuff like H1000 is still available generally. It's a nice slow powder just like RL-22 and I'm starting to wonder if it's got those "magical" properties of good consistency and great velocities with stuff like 190-210grn tips from a 30-06. Anyone...

I have come across a lot of Federal and Hornady 30.06 brass. I want to reload all of it for my Garand. I know the powder charge has to be just right or I can start expecting damage to the gas system and associated parts. What is the best recipe for Powder Brand and type, Powder Charge amount...
