Need some ideas '06'

[EricF517]

My brother has an 110, '06' that he wants to start shooting more, but has has some shoulder issues in the past. So I was planning on running some 155's in it for him, since Berger has the 155 hunting bullet. It would only be used for target, whitetail, and possibly muleys when we get a chance to head west.

My question is to you guys that are running an 06 with the 155's, which powder have you found to do well?

H4350 is the slowest I'd go; Varget is a good choice.

4064 is a good choice as well.

I shoot 155's with BLC-2 because I can load them by throwing instead of trickling the stick powders.

4895

ww748 is the standby powder and works good as well as blc-2 and I believe h335. There are more choices than we want to believe. If he has shoulder problems,look for reduced loads that can still get the job done.One of the manuals has them.Hornady used to publish reduced loads and I think sierra does. These are not powder puff loads and will still be efficient enough to do the job.

i had loaded some 155gr A-Max's with 4895. the difference in recoil between that and the 175's was enough to make me go "whoa, the hell was that"

XBR8208 is also an option.

I use a Limbsaver Slip-On pad for many of my rifles, regardless of their recoil amplitude. Primarily, I need more LOP and it's a pretty convenient way to get it.

But they can and do provive significant recoil rmitigation.

For youngsters in the family I am a fairly serious proponent of Remington's 'Reduced Recoil' Core-Lokt factory loads.

They put a 125gr Core-Lokt into a very similar trajectory as the Core-Lokt Express 150 and 165gr loads, and are quite adequate and acccurate to take deer within a 200yd distance limitation.

Here in the Northeast, it's not really very frequently that longer shots on deer will become available anyway.

4895 or 3031 will give enough to get the job done, plus the lighter charge weight will reduce the jet effect of the recoil moment.

+1 on Remington "reduced recoil".

Re: Need some ideas '06'

His shoulder isn't that bad where he needs a reduced recoil load. His rifle just has a light contour barrel and he was shooting some heavies last time he shot. So instead of listening to him complain about the heavies I was going to go to the 155's.

Think it looks like 4350 is will be then. Hoping to have luck with it and the 155's
