    30-06 ammo identification needed!

    Do any of you know what kind of ammo/bullets these are? I'm pretty sure they're Winchester, since the headstamp says "Super-X"... What can you guys tell me about these?

    Issues with bolt action 30-06

    I've got a Franchi Momentum .30-06 150th anniversary rifle that I can't shoot worth a crap. Beautiful rifle! Was in love when I bought it.

They are pretty pricey, was wondering if anyone has first hand experience with these. My first deer rifle was 30-06 and still have a couple of bolt guns in...
