managed recoil loads for 30-06...do they still exist

[Huntindad]

my son has outgrown his .223 and has been been shooting his brothers 243 and 7mm-08 in a NEF.

would like to get him a gun he can shoot from here on out. He is 13 . Would like to get a savage 111 in 30-06. would like to get a few boxes of reduced loads till he grows into thll size roue funds and never look back.

Problem is,,, I can not find managed recoil loads. they are either out of stock or discotinued.

Anyone know of a reliable place to get them or order them

I have seen 30-06 managed recoil ammo at bps in katy and marburgers sporting goods in sea brook.

I think Hornady just came out with one.

hmmm... i will check them out thanx,

Good idea to use a lighter load. I believe my Springfield .30-06 packs about 18 lbs of kick with just a 150 grain load. Don't want the young man to develop a flinch

Id agree with the above.... 30-06 isnt the ideal caliber for younger kids.... even I dont like all that recoil... its hard to beat a 7mm08 260 243... and with a muzzle brake it makes all the diff in the world... I could lay a 2 year old behind my 260 with a brake and not even put the rifle on his sholder and let him pull the trigger.... recoils like a ruger 10-22...

And thays just my rifle... ever rifle set up recoils differently... im not a savage person so I dont know how they shoot..

Hard to find but Remington Accelerator in 55gr have no recoil and travel 4,080 fps. If you can find someone to reload a 55gr with a sabot, that velocity is only an 80% powder charge. You can not shoot a sabot out of a can but a brake is fine.

Devastating at that velocity. Surprising accurate even with soft points which usually have problems.

www.ammoseek.com is a good source for in stock ammo. Currently could not find 30.06 MR but did find .270 MR. It changes daily so keep checking. I own a 30.06 and a .270 and I wont let my son shoot the .06
Until he is probably 14 or 15, but he already shoots .270 with regular loads at 9. I highly reccomend the sims recoil pads. They work wonders.

Oh, I agree, at regular loads, it is a bit stout. That is why I am looking at MR loads till he grows a little. He is 13 now. I am not fond of the muzzle brakes, due to the noise.

I am looking for a gun he will shoot rest of his life ... in Texas and beyond.

I saw some Remington Managed Recoil 125gr I believe, at the Frisco Academy not too long ago.

[duckmanep]

I saw a commercial on TV for a new one that just came out.... don't remember which brand though.

[Huntindad]

it's good to know they still are out there. I am gonna call academy to see which stores carry them.

thanx folks

[skeeter]

marburgers in seabrook is out.

[Huntindad]

Called academy... only store that has it is in Garland... will not ship it to another store, let alone me.

Hornady does have a lite version. we'll see where this leads me...

[skeeter]
