Sent off on guns america and bought me a 740 Rem in 30-06. Got the rifle and had to put a firing pin and an action spring in it. It is a beater that will go to Wisconsin to stay at my son's house for me to use when I go up there to hunt with him. I shot this rifle yesterday at a 50 yard range and it went into 7/8 inch with 150 gr. Remington factory loads. Then I shot a reload of 46 grains of 4895 and the Remington 165 Coreloct bullet. It went into 1/2 inch. Anybody shooting the Remington semiauto with 180 gr. or heavier bullets? I am looking for a proven load with a heavier bullet.
