[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4015675, member: 45785"] What my dad called "elk" loads for his 30-06, in a 1903 Springfield. 220grain cast lead slug at about 1500fps, IIRC. Could be wrong though. I am not finding a load like that in the reloading data I just took a quick glance through. Only my Spar-T press survived the decades between the last time I helped dad reload some of those, and where I am now. Nearly 50 years ago. Back then he didn't have a .308, and towards the end of his life I'm reasonably sure he'd have used the .45-70 Sharps rifle my step-mom bought for him when the Parkinson's started getting noticeable. He loved to hunt and eat wild game, but didn't want them suffering. [/QUOTE]
