Title: 30-06 Handloads
Post by: oneshotkill on March 25, 2008, 09:54:14 PM: I am going to be getting into reloading in the next few weeks for my Savage 114 30-06. I would like to start with these bullets in 168 grain, http://www.nosler.com/index.php?p=3&bullet=1,
Federal #210 Large Rifle primers,
and IMR-4350 powder.

Do you think this would make a decent load or do you have a recipe like this or any other good 30-06 receipes?

I'm using 150 grain bullets and IMR 4320 with Federal 210 primers. Use what you and your gun like.
