I agree you should consider sticking with I4350. I use it exclusively for the 30.06. I load 56 grains of 4350 with the partitions and I am very happy with the performance "on paper" out to 250 yards by 300 yards I am seeing about 10 inches of drop. I get better accuracy with 165 grain loads out...

My intention is to use the .308 on antelope and whitetail deer. That said, I am likely to also encounter mule deer so I need to keep that in mind. I have actually considered using 150 grains in the .308 so as to punch smaller holes in the antelope. They do fall over dead when you whack them with...

I just picked up a squeaky clean Remington 722 .308 and I reading back through the threads, I see a lot of discussion related to use if the B-tip and the Accubond but nary a word about using partitions. The other Big Game rifles in my arsenal are a 30.06 and the 300 win and I have stockpiled 165...

I was sighting in and practice shooting with a buddy this weekend. He had built up some loads for a Kimber 308 Mountain rifle using 150 grain partitions. I was stunned at the poor performance. While there was wind blowing, we were still shooting groups inside the box using 22-250s, 30.06, 300...

The 22-250 will stay in the gun rack unless a coyote shows up and needs some prompting to leave the country. Permanently. We do contend with wind in North Central Montana. Using the 180's in the 300 and 165's in the 30-06 resulted in much, much better 200 yard groups last Saturday in a 20 mph...

I have had several guys whom I consider to be some what reliable tell me that I should use my 22-250 for Antelope. Two, in particular, tell me that Federal Vital-shock factory rounds with the 60 grain partition bullets are all I need. I reload so I am not limited to factory rounds but I want to...

I am having some issues getting my arms around pursuit of a critter shorter than my labradors that weighs more that any mule deer doe I have shot.... I raised the issue of a combo trip to California - a couple of days hog hunting and then some time in the cenral CA wine country. She was...

Thanks for the tips. I had picked up on both guides doing an internet search of recommneded guides. Much easier to get to California than Florida so I may end up going that way instead of to Florida.

I am compelled to add a post script. For Christmas this year, my family gave me two more head lamps. One goes in my fishing gear bag and the other is now a general purpose lamp for use around the house. I had no idea how easy it is to complete minor plumbing projects when you actually see what...

I have been watching this thread with considerable interest. Until this year we used 30:06 150 grain corelokts exclusively. I have been hunting for 40 years, my son for the past 8 years and my father used the same round for years prior his passing. We used them on everything from coyotes to Elk...

While we have a multitude of critters to hunt here in Montana that could open a can of whoop butt on you if you are not careful, we don't have any wild pigs to hunt. For what ever reason that seems strike hunters from time to time, I have come to realize I have a hankering to chase wild pigs...

How about this for being paranoid: - an led squeeze light on the key ring - a mini mag on the belt - another mini mag in the pack - lighers in every jacket and pack (ex pipe smoker) - water proof matches with a 1/4 roll of tp (multiple uses for the tp) - a head lamp (a real God send for after...

Up here in Montana, our A tag goes to the best buck we can find but after that we are fortunate to be able to purchase or be drawn for multiple whitetail or mule doe tags. The season ended yesterday and there are 5 deer in my garage. The only one with horns is my sons 4 by 4 mulie. The rest are...

A beautiful daughter shoots a magnificent buck. Go and ahead let those pride buttons pop. We will catch them for you! :P

Ok - I have been debating whether I, as a newbie, should step into the Partitions vs Accubond debate. I can understand and appreciate the role that ballistic tips play as well as partitions but how about Accubonds. Are they to be used when accuracy is more important than power? I will duck...

:grin: I was suprised warm welcome. Thanks, dudes. I thought I might pose a couple of questions just to get some other thougts. I have been loading the 300 win using 71 grains of I4350 and the 06 using 58 grains of I 4350. Both loads seem to be very accurate but does any one have any other...

I have always been a believer in the 30.06. It is the rifle I grew up and have shot for pert near 40 years. I have always used a 150 grain round but have struggled with the issue of lost meat if the shot was not perfectly placed. When my beloved Ruger 30.06 would no longer hold a group and...
