Anyone getting sub MOA with a 30-06?
« on: May 09, 2006, 09:24:18 AM »
Hello everyone,

          I recently bought an encore 30-06 and I have only been shooting remington factory ammo through it for now.  I've got factory ammo in 180gr, 165gr, and 150gr.  Is anyone out there getting sub MOA with factory ammo?  
          Secondly, my barrel is the 26" and I havn't experimented with handloading rounds yet for this gun.  Anyone have a favorite load that is a huntable bullet?  This rifle will be in hunting deer in November and I want to make sure I have a good round dialed in long before then.  

Thanks for all the help!

I shoot Nosler 168 grain match bullets and Hornady 165 grain Interbond bullets out of my Encore 30/06.  I get about 1 MOA with the match bullets and about 1.5 MOA with the Interbonds.  I load for both with Varget.

I've taken 2 Whitetail Deer with the Hornady Interbonds and they worked well.
