i have a 30/06 and i want to see how well it can shoot grouping as well as distance what is the best most accurate round at 200 , how does grain effect: besides drop and drift when taget shooting?

bigcountry

Its the usual answer around here. Go out and buy some 150gr, 165gr, 180gr, and maybe 200gr, and shoot em, and find out. I find 165gr is pretty accurate, but I have accurate reloads at 150gr and 180gr.

diffrent guns and barrels will perfer diffrent weights and bullet styles and loads. all depends what YOUR gun likes. 200yds isnt a long poke for a 3006. find a good shootin round in your gun and test your gun

Retaks

Its all on what your gun shoots best. I have 2 30-06 and my dad has one and they all group good with different grain and type of bullets.

Rebel Hog

Like eveyone has mentioned, go buy 6 boxes of different Brands and different grs of .30-06 and see which ones group best in your rifle.

Yes it will cost a few bucks to try different brands and weight, but when you find the combo, look out they fall were you hit them, if you done your job.

NO-ONE can answer this question for you in terms of YOUR INDIVIDUAL RIFLE! What may be a target load in mine might not do worth two hoots in yours. You have to TEST VARIOUS LOADS in YOUR RIFLE to find the answer to this ???!

Try the Federal Blue Box ammo. they are loaded with 150 grain Speer GS bullets and clock 2900 fps on my chronograph from a 22 inch barrel. This load has shot well in several 30-06 rifles for me. You could try several but if this one shoots good for you, its an excellent deer round.

Like the others have said you just have to let your rifle tell you what it likes best.Except for 22's and 17 hmr's I haven't bought a box of factory loads in many many years.But I do get to shoot a few that others are shooting at the range.
If I was looking for a factory load I would start with the less expensive rem core locs and the fed fusion either would make a great deer load if they shot good in your rifle.Then try more expensive rounds if they were not satisfactory for what you are looking for.
A couple weeks ago a young fellow was shooting a new rem with cor-locs,after adjusting the trigger for him he let me shoot a 3 shot group at 100 yds 2 went in the same hole and the other one was allmost touching.
Last year I got a new rem sps in 270 amother fellow was shooting a 270 useing fed fusion and they were shooting pretty good he gave me some to try in my new 270 a 3 shot group went into one small hole at 100.
James gave a sugestion on the blue box federal,I would give them a try since they shot good in his,may be just what you want in yours.
You should find a good load trying different one but anyhow you will have fun trying them.
Now if you were talking reloads I could give a little more help there.
