So, the 7.62 39 accuracy appears to be a mystery. But if the 30-30 and the 7.62 39 are both very accurate then maybe we be talkin' about case size, load density and velocity? Aren't both the 30-30 and 39 running bullets in the 2,200 to 2,500 FPS range? 30-30 with a bit heavier bullet. Okay, lacking any real insight or information that would hinder my experimentation I guess I am going to load up the .308" 165 grain Speer Spitzers I just bought to around 2,200 to 2,500 FPS and see what the '06 will do. Good thing I sold both of the handi 30-30 barrels I acquired this year before I found out they are the most accurate Handi offering.
No complaints, the folks I sold the 30-30 barrels to are both better shots than I am anyway.
Grandpa Mike, the 6MM PPC brass can be bought but it can also be fire formed from 7.62 x 39 brass. Not sure about the 22 PPC.

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
