    1st time out loading my own

    Thanks to a fellow cal gunner who let me come to his house and he then came to mine, I finally got some time and courage to do it on my own.
    It is alot easier then I thought. just lots of little details that all make sense in the end.
    Anyways.
    Took out the 270 loads and some 06.
    Here are couple of pics from the groups that the guns liked.
    270 venture with 140 SST with ramshot Hunter. I forgot the 270 is sighted in at 200 yards. target is at 100

    30/06 is a tikka T3 shooting 168 Ballistic silver tip with ramshot big game. I made a quick adjustment on on the scope to bring it down as I dint want to be dealing with the same thing as the 270 (high shots)
    Seems like after I get up to the max loads and past, I didn't notice that much velocity gain, but it had noticeable gain in recoil and diminished accuracy.
    Im going to tinker with these loads.
    The orange stickers I got from a paint store. perfect 1" circle and I can write my loads on it.

    All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

    Nice job for first go around. My most accurate .06 load is at 2,743 AVPS with a 165 gr Accubond, so it looks like you could be in that same neck of the woods.

      For the 270 consider using IMR4831.
      Keep it simple!

        Thanks arrow shooter. Im going to play with the 54 grain load and some other depths a little.
        Also I have 8lb of big game and 8 lbs of Hunter.
        I'm just going to stick with those for now.
        All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
