H4350, Copper Bullets, 30-06, good results

[Patrick L]

I will use conventional bullets as long as I am allowed, but intend to explore the copper solid territory soon, as living in NYS it can't be long off.

Since this has turned into a bit of a bull session regarding everyone's favorite '06 loading I will share one of my own.
My all time favorite combo was the 165gr Grand Slam over 57gr of IMR 4350. I don't even know if they make these bullets anymore. At the rate I shoot them I have enough for the next 20+ years.
I bought a bunch of Hornady GMX's to jump into the all copper game but then someone pointed out that they are designed to expand at 2700fps. That's about as fast as they are leaving the barrel in '06 so obviously this was a poor choice.
