Can the group suggest a starting powder and bullet weight to begin a fun quest with my new, but old 1973 Winchester M70 30-06.
Requirements:
*LIGHT RECOIL (I have a bad shoulder)
*Jacketed bullets to start with, maybe even switch to lead after I get started. I have a buddy that does lead in 308 and 30-06
*100 to 200 yards.
*Paper punching only, not hunting.
I was thinking 130 grain and H4895 (60% safe reduced loads) I have powder in stock, but will have to buy any bullets under 150 grain.
Thanks in advance,
Catpop
