Is everyone actually using the "long range" type bullets for hunting whitetails at <300yard? I bought a Creedmoor because it does not kick much but I do not hunt long range. I'm thinking about using a hotcor or a gameking and just looking to see if anyone has used these at Creedmoor velocities.
I think you did well with that Ruger and if you still get one of the other two, I'm not sure there is a wrong choice. I is supporting an American company which is never a bad thing but I do like Tikka as well.
I know im adding extra time but I do t load high volumes of ammo but I regularly use a beam and a digital scale. I also weight every charge though so it seems I’m in the minority.
Another new guy here from Texas that deer and duck hunts as much as I can. Primarily the West Texas for Deer and the gulf coast for ducks. Joined because I want to learn about and experience more than just Texas stand hunting.
Thanks,

I could not imagine the 30-06 ever leaving someone disappointed, it is my all-time favorite caliber! On occasion I will shoot a smaller caliber but I will always have 1 30-06 around.

I just recently purchased a Nightforce SHV 3-10 with the MOAR reticle and capped turrets so I have the ability to hold over or the minimal dialing I may do. Many people think differently but the 10x magnification with clear glass seems adequate for my hunting ranges. So far I am very impressed...
