30 06 ammo
« on: June 04, 2007, 04:26:03 PM »
Well I finally broke down and bought some 30 06 ammo today,and the cheap Rem. corlokts shot fairly well in my Optima elite. I took a couple of shots to get the scope set and then shot a 3  shot group with it. The first 2 were within a 1/4" of each other and then the third one went left about 1". I think I pulled the no. 3 shot off a little,but it was good enough to go hog hunting with. The recoil felt a little stronger than the 165 gr. Hornady light mag. ammo but I did'nt chrono it. One of these days after the PD shoot is over I'll work on some handloads for it.     Digger

No Mac,I hav'nt tried anything but the corlokts.And as soon as I shot it a zero'd it I took off hog hunting. I'm loading 222 and 204 ammo now so the 30 06 will have to wait.  Digger
