LE270Great 30/06 load
My 30/06, a Remington 700 CDL, does not seem to like 150 and 165 gr. bullets -- at least I've not yet gotten a load that gives what I consider to be acceptable accuracy from it with those bullet weights.
I have found a great load using 180 grain bullets:
180 gr. Sierra SPBT
56 gr. of H 414
Remington brass
Federal 210 primer
Overall length 3.30 inches
Crimped with Lee Factory Crimp Die
Velocity: 2760 f.p.s. (24 inch barrel)
My best 3-shot group at 200 yards: 0.69 inches
