Ammo help
« on: October 27, 2013, 05:13:01 PM »
I am looking for some .30-06 ammo with lead bullets.  Does anyone know who makes and sells it as I don't have the stuff to reload yet.  I will be using it for a 1903A3  and will be looking for a 1903 to buy some day.

You're probably going to have to find a local and/or custom reloader to make those up, I don't know of any commercial .30-06 lead rounds.

Even if you don't cast, reloading cast bullets in .30-06 is quite easy.  Data and bullets are widely available.  The best reference is the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook.

If you jump into the reloading box, montana bullet works linotype gas checks can be sent down range 2000 fps plus and group pretty well.
