Apparently my .30-06 likes RL 16 too!

Thanks!

Has anyone tried RL 16 in the .30-06 with 180 gr. or 165 gr. bullets? How about in the .25-06 with 110 gr. or 115 gr. bullets? I thought I'd give it a try but would appreciate any input from the forum members first. Thanks!

I've always wanted to change from dry media to the tumbler process but the capacity of the drums far exceeded my requirements. Nonetheless, I was prompted by this post to explore the issue on wet tumbling once again. To my surprise I noticed that Frankford Arsenal is soon offering a Tumbler...

Thanks to all for the input. The E-tip seems like a good choice! I hope to have some good news to share in the fall on 2019!

I've finally realized a lifelong dream and booked an elk hunt in Montana for 2019. My .30-06 shoots the 168 gr. E-Tip and 180 gr. AccuBond very well. I understand that either bullet weight is more than adequate for elk but I am leaning towards the E-Tip due to its higher BC and velocity. Has...

Hornady .348 Win. brass is available at Midway.

Nosler #3 lists 46 - 50 grs. (2700fps.) I4350 and Speer #11 lists the same for the 180 gr.

For what it's worth, the Speer #11 manual lists 48 - 52 grs. of IMR 4350 for the .308 Win, 165 gr. bullets. They also list an velocity of 2755 fps. @ 52 grs.

Thanks FOTIS!

Thanks to all for the comments :) . BTW SBJ358, with how many grains of RL 17 were you pushing the 200 grain Hornadys?

My son recently inherited one of these rifles (and it's a beauty!) and due to the lack of readily available ammo I plan to reload the 40 cartridges that he currently possesses. I have all components but am curious to hear what you has been most successful for any of you. As of right now, I...

You didn't do anything crazy like clean it, did you??? :lol:

Got it!

Thanks all for the input. Your comments support all that I've read so far. I think this is a "done deal!" (Too bad about the pics.)

I'm seriously considering purchasing a Range Officer in .45 ACP. I read a lot of good things about them but would greatly appreciate any personal experiences. Thanks

Bbear: I'm looking at the same combination. I haven't worked up any loads yet but I'm thinking of starting out at 58 grains. Where did you find your best results? Regards

I've had good luck with these powered by 59 grs. of Retumbo. I just bought 100 more from Midway. Great bullet!

I am ecstatic this morning! I couldn't be more relieved.

I agree. I did some research and found that 56 grains looks like a good spot to start. Think I'll give it a try with some 110 AB's too based on your input. Many thanks!
