I like 180 grn Parts. w/Re 19. That is the load I make up for my dads winchester 54. He has taken elk, bear and deer with that load. We live in Western Oregon where shots are close in steep thick country. I hunt w/ 35 whelen 200 rn for deer and 250 parts for elk.
Personally the only 06's I own are M1 garands so they get fed 150- 165 with either varget or Ramshot biggame
