110 grain bullets and 30-06

[Cledus J. Crabb]

Anyone ever experiment with the two?
I'm in the process of playing with the concept to achieve a light, accurate load for my 03-A3.

I've used them in 308 a fair amount when I was a teenager and hunted woodchucks.

I suggest you consider 150 grain Sierra Match Kings and drop the velocity a little. You'll get better results, IMNSHO.

I've loaded 110 grain Sierra's in my .280 Rem. and dropped bullet on top of bullet at 100 yds. Knocks coyotes right over.
Haven't loaded for that gun in quite a few years, so I'd have to really dig for any data.

Personally, I wouldn't go with that light of a bullet. Have heard that the 125 grain bullets can be shot accurately, although I have never tried them. I shoot the 190SMK in my '06.

The optimum would be the Sierra 175HPBT MatchKing and 50 grains of 4895. This should duplicate the old M72 Match round.

The 125G hollow pt. has a far better sectional density and will be more accurate. I have used a lot of them. I use Speer. They will loose velocity rather fast but are fine out to 300 yds.
