I tried light loads to sneak up on accuracy nothing in the 30-06 range would fire very accurately.I did same with my h-h and 30-06 load in the h-h is awesome. don't know why though.
Using a lighter bullet is how you reduce recoil. Like in my 338 Win. Mag. I've been shooting 200 grain bullets. Shot an antelope with it and it wasn't any deader than normal and the meat was fine. You do need to be a handloader though, if you want to keep the velocity down. It's the higher velocity that damages meat, not the fact that it's a lighter bullet.
Why a 300 win if you don’t want to shoot a 300 win?
