30-06 starting powder choice
Hunter and the 168 Gold Dots turned out pretty decent. I was doing 4-shot groups, but I had a bad piece of brass on this one and only got 3 shots. ES and SD were spectacular across the board. Other groups averaged about 1.2 - 1.4 MOA, but this one was a little better. Time to do some seating...- USAF Ret
