Was going to work on some new loads with IMR4895 for my .308 Winchester. The bullet that I am using with this powder is a 165gr Nosler Partition and CCI primers. Just wondering if anyone has loaded with this combo or even loaded with the IMR4895 and what they had as their best charge? The...

Thank you all for your input. I have a bullet drop app that shows the following so here what is listed 180gr Partitions 2620fps 0 at 200 yds after calculations it shows 2.9" high at 100yds -3.9" at 250yds -9.7" at 300yds -17.5" at 350yds So I am guessing that the 3" high at 100yds sight in...

Ok, I have been having discussions with some newbie hunter/shooters/reloaders about aim points. This will mostly relate to 30-06 180gr Parts and 180gr AccuBonds but can be for all rifles. Over my many years of hunting, reloading and shooting when I hit the range to test new loads and finally...

Welcome aboard. I agree totally with Guy and Fotis the .308 with a 165gr PT is an ideal pill for any NA game. I can also from experience tell you that I have taken elk and moose with an older .308 BLR and the 165gr PT's. Any where from 125 to 300yds with no problems. Just my two cents worth.

I as well as my dad have taken both bull elk and bull moose with an old Browning .308. I definately recommend the 165gr Partition as the pill of choice with the .308 on any of the large game. Most of the shots that I have taken large game with the .308 have been under 300 yds.

I have been using my bipod on front and sandbag the rear when sighting in my 30-06. I use sandbags front and rear when sighting in the old BLR .308. I have used Guy's advice and have been doing more positional shooting practice once the rifles are sighted. Then the practice is for me to...

Congrats on a real dandy looking buck you have there! Real nice looking. Definitely a wall mounter.

Congrats. Those are a couple of very nice looking bucks!

Congratulations on a great looking ram!

Appologies for the multi posting not sure what happened there. Trying to figure out how to delete.

Hi Ray Those are some great looking groups that you have there. I have used IMR 4350 powder in an older Mod 70 30-06 for almost 30 years with 55.5grs and it is just about identical to the tight groups you show there. I have also found that H4350 and 55.0grs shoots just as nice through my...

Hi Ray

Hi Ray

I am running 55.0grs of H4350 and 180gr NP's in an older Win Mod 70 30-06 and have around a 1" group with 5 shots. I am also getting 2618fps velocity with that load. I ran up higher, but had pressure signs before the groups would start tightening up again. I have also used IMR4350 with 55.5grs...

Wow I think I need to take a trip and shop at Guy's Bullet Grocery Store. LOl You have quit the stock pile.

I have weighed the idea of the 165gr against the 180gr Partition in my 30-06 many many times. The 180gr Partition wins every time. I will take my dads old .308 with the 165gr Partitions when I am not worried about Mr. Grizzly. I do agree with you totally and have seen very few Partitions stay...

Hi Don It is funny you should mention the 180gr Hornady Round Nose. My dad picked up a box of them cheap when I was away at college and ask me to load them for him for deer hunting. We met up for a weekend deer hunt in the East Kootenays, and dad did manage to shoot a very nice 4pt Whitetail...

I have shot many Whitetail and Mule deer with my 30-06 and have been using the 180gr NP exclusively. I have never had alot of meat damage on animals of deer size even after hitting shoulder bones. My velocity runs around 2686fps. I have not personally had any of my partitions blow apart after...
