Looking to get about 2200-2300 fps MV with a 150gr soft nose so I can use a 30-30 bullet and get the right expansion for deer. Reason being my father in law is bound and determined to use his 30-06 his dad gave him until he can't hunt any more... He's 83 and flinches like a SOB when he shoots it. So need a good reduced load. His max range is less than 100yds where we hunt. I'm searching the net, but wanted to see what you all have to say.
I've seen the H4895 60% bit, and looks that that MIGHT give me about 2300 at the lowest charge. Also seen where people use IMR 4198, RL-7, and AA 5744 but they usually lack chrono data. What say you, anyone have any data?
