30-06 Load for an XL7

Recommended Posts

Wondering if anybody has a good 30-06 load they can recommend. I've been using 150 gr Hornady SST bullets with about 50.5 gr of Varget powder. I had an issue last year with a deer we hit at about 100 yards in the middle of his back, and he took off never to be seen again. I don't want that happening again so I'm thinking about using either Barnes TTSX bullets in a 168 gr., Nosler ballistic tip in a 168 gr., or a Sierra GameKing in a 165 gr. I'm also looking at trying Alliant RL17. Any thoughts?

You should check out the Marlin owners dot com web forum. I also have an X gun and there is good data with that forum.
