[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 868637, member: 711"] Most 30-06 barrels have a 1 in 10 twist. This will spin light bullets, especially cheap ones, so fast they become unstable unless you load them really light to keep the speed down. I think I would make my lightest loads in the 140-150 grain range. If you really want to get into varmint shooting, pick up a 22-250 or something similar. Look at Savages. 30-06 will do lots of stuff, but it's still a fairly heavy caliber. CB [/QUOTE]
