Reduced load 30-06

[West Canada Creek 30-30]

Because of injured shoulder and 2 surgeries, I'm looking for reduced loads for a Remington 7600, carbine in 30-06. I hunt the Adirondacks shots are 100 yds or less. Does anyone have a reduced load for a 150 gr Partition or a 170 gr (30-30) bullet. Any help would be appreciated.

wcc,

Try starting loads of 57.5 grs RL19 (2776fps) or 55.0 grs IMR4831 (2652fps) with the 150 gr PT. You might also want to install a Pachmyer Decellerator recoil pad to soften the recoil.

Regards,

Speer lists reduced loads in their manual. I haven`t tried any of them but they might be something to look at. You might be better off with the 30-30 bullet at low velocity in place of the Partition although both will work.

I've had good accuracy with rem 150 30-30 corelockts and 42 grains imr 3031. 2450 fps and 1" groups. Very mild to shoot. From the Lyman 47
manual. Low pressure load too.
