My 06 did very well with factory REM Core-Lokt 150’s and 165’s as well as WIN 150 Whitetail’s . Now for the last two weeks I’ve been working on handloads with the Nosler 150 BT , 150 AB and 165 BT as well as the Hornady 150 SST and 165 SST . I’m trying to use what I consider an older “traditional” 06 powder so I’ve been using four IMR powders 4064 4895 4320 and 3031 . That’s partially because I have several pounds of each and so far I have 3-5 good loads for each bullet . I think in about two more weeks I’ll be settled on loads for all five bullets . Once I’ve plunked deer with those five bullets I may try some Swift 165 Scirrocos as I have a box of them on the shelf waiting to be used in something .
