$.08 – $.10/primer is standard these days.  I really wish that I had bought thousands more of them when they were still just $.01/ primer.  Fortunately, I still have 15K primers in my inventory (though I did use (40) more of my Remington No. 9 ½ primers last night reloading some 30-06 Varmint loads). My next big expenditure will be an 8 lb jug of IMR 4064… at 57.5 grains per cartridge, it does not take very long to empty a 1-lb container!

What bullet over the 57.5/4064?
  

110 grain V-Max.

This is from my reloading data;

More proof that the ’06 is so flexible and useful it gets hard to defend another choice.  That looks like a serious dose of coyote medicine. 
  

Bill,

I load for my 30-06 rifles with many different recipes depending on my intended targets, and yes, it can be loaded for a very wide range of purposes.  In my rifle, the 57.5 grains of IMR 4064 launches the 40-grain V-Max @3,400 fps, and yes, it is serious Coyote medicine.  It would also be great for Antelope.

Bert-
Your 110gr 30-06 load reminds me of a load I put together for Speer’s little 100gr half-jacket “plinker”. It was actually pretty accurate out aways past 100 yards or maybe a certain crow was just very unlucky. We found mostly feathers. 
The grand old cartridge has so many loads that work that I suspect anyone who has loaded much 30-06 has a favorite load but there are probably dozens of them. I even had a rifle that was very fond of the factory RP Core-Lokt 165 factory loads. I bought them for the brass when I was learning to reload, they didn’t cost much more than component brass. It was probably a couple of years before I learned to load a round it liked better.

I load 110, 150, 162, 165, 168, and 175 grain bullets for my three different 30-06 rifles.  I once toyed with the idea of loading 180 and 220 grain, but I decided to leave those bullets for my 30-40 Krag rifles.  As of today, I have not ever tried the 125 or 140 grain bullets, but I have some one hand should I ever get the urge.

The 120 – 130 grain bullets can duplicate 270 ballistics out to about 250 yards. Handy and light recoiling.
  

I bet they are.  Most of my .308 caliber supply are the Sierra 150-gr bullets.  I load them for two of my 30-06 rifles, and for my Springfield 30-40 Krag rifle.  The heavier bullets are for my 30-60 Benchrest rifle.  I load the 180-gr and 220-gr for both of my 30-40 Krag high-wall Single Shot rifles.  Somewhere deep in my ammo box I still have a box of (20) that my grandfather loaded using 90-grain M1 Carbine bullets back in the 1960s.  I remember shooting some of them as a kid… no recoil, but a LOT of muzzle flash!
