Today at the Bench.....

I got some 30-06 test loads done up for my sons new used Remington 700. I’m starting with 150gr Hornady btsp over IMR4064. Charge weights start at 46.0 and go up to 47.5, and COAL is at the book 3.210”.

I hope those shoot as well as they look! I’m a sucker for a .30-06!

I loaded 300 rds of 40 S&W. 2 boxes of 155 gn fp and 4 boxes of 165gn fp, recleaned 4 boxes that I cleaned about 5 years ago and had some dark spots like corrosion and primed them all. My son wants to see what it takes to load so tomorrow, if he shows, I will have him set a powder load and check it, I think he thinks it is easy, but he will find out how time consuming it really is.

I got a chance to shoot these Sunday. It’s definitely a keeper. All were 3 shot groups at 100yds. First was 46.0gr IMR4064 on a freshly cleaned barrel about 1.5”. Next was 46.5gr, it was .268”. Next 47.0gr it was 1.3xx”. Last was 47.5gr and it was right at an inch. I’m going to load up some more Hornady 150gr BTSP with 46.5gr IMR4064, and let the man child shoot it this coming up weekend.

Here’s a pic of the winning target.

Dang man! I’d love a range trip that goes that well! Great shooting!

You’ve swayed me into re-trying some Hornady bullets recently as I picked some up during a road trip this past weekend. Since my favorite 165gr GameKing is basically unavailable, brought home a couple hundred 165gr interlocks for my .30-06. Hopefully it will be a good winter project.
