Hey guys
I was invited to go deer and pig hunting in November with my brother in law (again) . He lives in Georgia ,but will be hunting in Alabama. The sweet thing is my mother in law lives in the same area. So while my wife visits her mother I'll be hunting.
So my question is I'm looking for a load that will shoot straight for at least 200 yds. I have Hornaday 168 gr. Amax on my shelf so I would like to use those. W.LR. primers too. Mike ( brother in law) said that shots wouldn't be any longer than that.
I have one of those one book/ one caliber books . My 3006 is a Savage with a center point scope .
The bucks weighs around 150 /200 pds. The pigs can be 120/350 pds.
I was leaning towards using IMR 4350. Any thoughts or a better choice of powder? I will start this weekend on working up a load.
Thanks in advance.
