My load is 58 grains H4350 with the 168 ballistic tip and 165 accubond. Gets 2,934 fps at 7740' above sea level, shoots well under .75" @ 100yds in the M48 Custom. . As always work up from at least 5% below. Bruce

58 Grains of H4350 with 168 Grain Ballistic Tips at 2934 fps average velocity was the load used in the Nosler M48 Custom 30-06 I sold to my hunting partner last year. He shot a 4 round group into about .41 inches. Craig harvested a big cow on a Ranching For Wildlife hunt here in Colorado last...

I agree with hunter24605. I built three 6.5 Grendel's last year with Lilja barrels from a group buy on the 6.5 Grendel Forum. 12'5" pistol, 14.5" that I can use on my SBR lower and a 16" rifle. All shoot great from the bench and are fun to shoot. Haven't taken any game with them yet. Bruce

Guy, Great looking pup! I'm sure you will have him working well with you sooner than you expected. Bruce

I had better accuracy with Federal 215 mag primers than regular 210 primers using Nosler 30-06 brass, 180 gr Accubonds and 58.5 of Ramshot Hunter in my Nosler Model 48 Custom. Three round groups around .5" to.75". I started with the 210 and the accuracy was ok, but not great. As always, work...

John Barsness wrote about his wife, Eileen, using Nosler 150 Grain E-Tips in Africa. She took an 800 pound Zebra that is pictured in one of their books. They used Varget in her handholds. I plan to use the same bullet and powder in my NULA for my next elk hunt. Bruce

140 Hornady ELD-M 6.5 Creedmoor factory ammo worked great on my doe antelope this year. Bruce

I just bought a Rossignol Back country setup, Rossignol BC90 Positrack skis, BC Magnum bindings, BC X 6 boots and adjustable BC poles. Haven't skied them yet, the skis are 90mm at the tip, 68mm under foot so they should be good for a little float on softer snow. They also have steel edges for...

Wipe-Out Tactical Advantage is the easiest to use that I've found. One doesn't have to use a bore brush and works very well for me. No strong odor and isn't messy like the foam bore cleaners. I buy mine from Brownells. Bruce

Nan_wpg, A subscription to Rifle Looney news is well worth the price also and you get access to all the back issues. Good Luck in your research, Bruce

Here you go, sorry it took so long. I visited the forum today and it took me a while to learn how to post attachments. Ruger may have changed the receiver profile since the wood is a little proud of my old receiver. The new wood is nice but it does not have figure similar to the material...

I recently sent my 1976, 200th Anniversary 30-06 #1A to Ruger for replacement of a damaged fore end. They replace the stock and fore end for free as a gesture of good will. They didn't have any wood as nicely figured as the original, but is has good color and a nice straight grain structure...
