I have been reloading only for a short time now, 4 months. Been loading 40 S&W. So far with excellent luck, partially due to the massive amount of lurking on this site. Thank you all for the great tips and info.
Now for my question. I have a Remington 742 woodmaster in 30-06. This was my dad's gun. I don't think that he shot more than 50 rounds through it. I probably shot about another 50. Both he and I have only used reminington soft points through it.
I have IMR 4064 (rated most accurate in the manuals I have). The load data says 47 gr min to 51 max for a Nosler 150 gr ballistic tip bullet. Being that this is a semi auto rifle, do I start at the minimum or should I start in the middle? For now I will be using it for target so that I get used to shooting it. Eventually I plan to use it for deer and elk here in Colorado.
Also any other tips on reloading or care for this rifle would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
