30-06

[filmjunkie4ever]

IMR4350 and 165's are about made for the 30-06.

I shoot 57gr IMR4350 and a 165PT. In my particular rifle, that only yields 2700fps, so I could go faster, but there's not a lot of point. If I wanted to shoot caribou and bear, I might think about pushing on the gas pedal a little, but I'm not sure it's necessary.

That really is plenty. Even on caribou and black bear at least.

Hosea Sarber used to shoot 172 grain Western Tool and Copper bullets at 2750-2800 on grizzly out of his .30-06 rifles. I am sure he would've loved the 165 grain Partitions for the same stuff.

I bet that '49 Winchester 70 is as good a looker as it is a shooter!
