[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 4543562, member: 5958"] I do not load the 180 in my 06 but you should have no problem with it. Pro: this will carry you from Deer through Moose Con: The recoil is going to amaze you. For deer the meat destruction will be worse. Nosler says a 62 grain charge of RL22 behind a 180 will push downrange at 2800 FPS. This has to be a very very stout recipe; I would start much lower on the scale-perhaps 55 grains. As you progress through the cycle looking for accuracy watch carefully for over-pressue signs: Sticky bolt lift and eject; cratered primers. This is the ballistics chart for Federal Premium ammo, use it as a starting point as it has the same FPS as the Nosler book: [url=http://guide.sportsmansguide.com/ballistic-chart/federal_charts/30-06Spring762x63mm.html]http://guide.sportsmansguide.com/ballis ... x63mm.html[/url] Roughly 2 feet drop at 400 yards, not bad. At 300 the 8 inch drop is insignificant.....almost point blank. [/QUOTE]
