  1. Handloading Procedures & Practices
    I haven’t posted in ages. I was going through my component hoard the other day and uncovered several thousand 165 grain .308 Deep Curls. I know they were known for some strange pressure spike and there was specific load data for them. Speer no longer lists any data and I haven’t been able to...
  2. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    Hey y’all, looking for some help and info regarding a Mauser 98 NON sportster in 30-06. I’ve been told that all serials match and it’s all original. Has iron sights. I’ll attempt to add a pic to this as well. Im more or less looking for a value of the rifle. I asked the dude how much he wants...
  3. Handloading Procedures & Practices
    I am looking for some suggestions on some .30-06 reloads to try in a new Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 rifle. So far I've tried 165 grain Speer spitzer points with 55.5 grains of H414 powder, 165 grain Hornady spitzer points with 55.5 grains of H414 powder, and factory Winchester loads with 150...
  4. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    Hello, I am new to this forum, but I have been using guns now for many years. I recently decided that I want to purchase my first rifle, which will be mostly used for hunting, as well as occasional target shooting. I am looking for a 30-06 that can shoot a sub-MOA group at 100 yards. My budget...
  5. Bullet Casting
    I want to start reloading this summer, and I want to load a little for accuracy, and a lot for costs. This got me thinking about bullet casting. I've cast round .50 cal balls for muzzleloaders so I have the melting pot. But I'm wondering if a .30-06 can push lead fast enough to wear the barrel...
  6. Handloading Procedures & Practices
    I just bought a Winchester 70 30-06, and my sisters boyfriend keeps telling me I need to reload. Is reloading the 30-06 really worth it? I have a line in on an older lee press with 30-06 dies to come with it (rcbs dies) and a shell holder for the 30-06 (whatever size that is) for $50 ish. It...
  7. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    So in my area if you get a lifetime membership to white tails unlimited you get a mossberg patriot with the whitetails logo laser engraved. $650, for a gun that msrp is 640. There is a lot of good benefits, and I'm 18 so the benefits will last a lifetime. But I also want a CZ 557 Carbine in...

Rifle date coded 1962 and it has bear scroll engraving on one side a deer hunting scene on the other. Beautiful carved basket weave maple stock, real purtey, doubt it shot 20 rounds...
  9. Gun Cleaning
    Hi, New here. New shooter. Bought a new Tikka T3. Am I in the right topic? Cleaning and care part of training? Question: what do I really need for a cleaning kit? Premade kit? Build my own? Full rod, compact pieced rod, does it matter? What jags? Brushes? Found a lot of stuff out...
  10. Handloading Procedures & Practices
    New to reloading (hi everyone!), have read books and researched for months, and am super excited but...confused on a few things with my first batch! (And have searched the forum prior to posting but haven't found the answers yet.) Bolt action .30-06 20 Winchester cases and 20 Remington...

  15. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    Alright, so I've been hunting for years now, mostly a shotgun hunter. I'm hunting an area that is new to me which may require 300+ yard shots. As a result, I'm looking for a bolt-action rifle to do the job. I'm in college right now, so obviously cost is a huge factor. I was looking at the...
  16. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    Hi All, Just back from the range with my BSA 15 shooting at steel and paper and my HVA .30-06 on paper working up some Trail Boss loads. Initial impressions are very good. I just had a few questions to ask now that the cleaning is done. It seems that the first shot of a 5 round group was a...

    New poster here, BTW. I ran across an older model Mossberg Model 1500. On the barrel, its stamped "made by Howa." This rifle is chambered in 30-06. I can get a heck of a deal on the gun, but I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with this model from Mossberg. I'm not expecting much...
  18. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    Didn't really know what to name it but you get the idea. I am thinking of getting a new gun. I would use it for PA black bear and if I ever get the chance I would use it for elk. I want something a little bigger than my 270 but no bigger than a 338 of some kind. I want something that is not a...
  19. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    Don't need to worry about this yet as there's still a couple weeks until they draw, and might have to start the wait all over again, but my dad put in for the Maine moose lottery, and for some reason wants a 220 gr bullet. I've talked some sense into him with the fact that the guy who is...
