Reloader Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I finaly settled on a load for my 30-06 I will be using for deer season next month. I ended up with Hornady 150 gr SST Interlock's, IMR 4895 powder, and CCI 200 primers in a Winchester case. Assuming the deer cooperate I will let you know how it works.

David_218 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Re: Chose a load for Deer. I'll be using my Browning 20 ga and my T/C .50 M/L here in Indiana. In Kentucky I plan to use my Ruger .270. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reloader Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Re: Chose a load for Deer. [ QUOTE ] Sounds good. How does it shoot in the short barrel? [/ QUOTE ] Just loaded up the first set at 5% below max listing yesterday and may have to wait till saturday to get to a range to do the first tests. On balistics tables they should mesh perfectly with my rifle, but we shall see on saturday. I will sight in and then shoot a few water jugs to get an idea of preformance. The season doesn't open for me till Nov 12th so I still have a little time. My only complaint is the IMR 4895 doesn't throw well from my powder measure. The rod shaped granules get caught in the mechanism and jam it slightly. Each time it jammed it threw a heavy charge...up to a full grain heavy. I ended up having to weigh nearly every charge. Just got a little tedius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
