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.

I loaded some Hornady Spire Point 180’s when I thought the big piggies needed a bit more killing than their 165 delivered. Cool thing was the 165 and 180 had almost same point of impact at 100 yards so no need to re-zero or allow for the different bullets.

I just bought 1000 carton of cci large pistol primers at a local dealers, £163.00 ! thats about $218.00 they have almost doubled in price in the last couple of years. Small pistol are the same price. Lead, primers, and powder are getting expensive over here.
