hello all,
my little brother drew his first controlled elk hunt tag this year but he only has a 243 and a heavy one at that so I'm lending him my M77 MKII 30-06 as it's the only thing I can spare that can do him much good since I drew the same hunt and I need my 300 WBY. we generally have to make long range shots between 300 and 600 yards for elk out here so something that's flat shooting and accurate is necessary.
my weatherby does pretty good with 180gr deep curls and I can even load down to win mag velocity and still get the same ballistics as factory weatherby ammo(easier on my shoulder). does anyone have some accurate 30-06 data for the deep curl that can graze the lower end of the magnum velocity spectrum?
main powders at my disposal are IMR 4064, 3031 and varget though we have some different misc stuff laying around, mostly IMR, hodgon or alliant.
