recomended .30-'06 ammo?
Posted on 7/27/13 at 7:48 am

someone on the OB a while back was recommending a 125 gr load he shoots in his .30-'06 (same cal. i shoot). all i've seen so far are the managed recoil loads in this grain weight which is not what i recall him recommending. can someone refresh me on this or post a link to the thread?

No reason to shoot a 125 out of a .30-06 IMHO. It's more of a varmint round. Shoot 150

i've got 150's in various configurations. i'm looking for a little less recoil this yr because of a shoulder problem i'm having

That sucks. Sorry to hear. Any chance you hand load?

some of the reviews of this ammo say DON'T use this cal for game animals bc of fragging on impact.

I shoot 130gr out of my 270 and it does damage. If you're going to go light I would suggest the Barnes x bullet.
Edit, whatever your gun shoots best.

123 gr FMJ
Saying that about soft points? I know that a ballistic tip will do that but not sure about a soft point.

180g core loct

That one you're talking about probably still kicks pretty hard because its loaded so hot. Its a hand load.
European companies usually make some high quality ammo in oddball sizes. I'd look at lapua, privi, Norma, etc.
.30-06 is pretty rough on the shoulder. Do you have a good kick pad on your gun? The good ones like limb saver make a big difference.

Cant go wrong with the ole Locts either, what I put down the barrel of my 30-30.

prob what i'll end up doing.
the frag problem i refered to was either a sectional density problem with the round they were using or they were shooting ballistic tips.
however, i've used ballistic rounds before without a frag problem.

I would think ballistics would be a challenge on such a light round. I would downsize to a .25-06, 7mm-08 or even a .260 if you prefer the style of a .06

Faxis is the man you're looking for, but you're not gonna find anything he shoots OTC. All hand rolled stuff.
