Does it matter what kind of 30-06 ammo you buy for a 30-06 710 remington rifle?

Answer 1

Everything people mentioned about choosing the right round for the game that you are shooting is valid. So what I'm about to say is not meant to take away from what they were saying. But another thing to consider is the twist of the barrel for the weight of the round. If a rifle has a slow twist, you'll want a heavier bullet. If the twist (ratio of turns per inch) of the rifle is fast, then you'll want a lighter bullet. This affects accuracy. I'm not positive what the twist on the 710 is, but when you bought it, it should have said in the owner's manual. Or, you can check online at the Remington website. They can also recommend what you should choose for the range of weights right for the barrel if you call their toll-free help hotline.

Bound's hubby here:

As a rule of thumb, a .30-06 cartridge with lighter bullets moves faster than a .30-06 cartridge with heavier bullets.

You should match the bullet you shoot to the game you are hunting. For example, if you are hunting deer, you would want to shoot a bullet weight between 150 grains and 165 grains. Typically, all .30-06 cartridges shooting the same bullet weight tend to move at about the same velocity. any appreciable difference in listed velocity really is a result of where the manufacturer placed the chronograph screens.

Once you decide on the weight bullet you wish to use for your hunting ... don't just go to your local Wal*Mart and by a box. Different brands of ammo shoot differently in different rifles. You buy a box of several different brands (i.e.: Federal, Remington, Winchester, etc.) and see what your rifle shoots best.

Answer 3

Actually it does matter. What are you hunting? If you are shooting varmints you can use just about anything. If you are hunting game you need to match your ammo to the game.

A quality 150 to 165 soft point bullet is good for deer-size animals. For pronghorn you could even use a lighter load. For elk, moose, bear or hog you want a 180 to 200 grain quality soft point.

Resist the urge to use military surplus ammo for anything but plinking. If you do use it, thoroughly clean your rifle after wards in case you used corrosive ammo.

The dealer can further advise you. I like Federal ammo, but Winchester, Remington and Hornady all make high quality premium ammo. I like the nickle plated cases, but that's just me.

Answer 4

you're asking approximately 2-3 distinctive rifles. a million. For searching a Remington seven-hundred ADL, BDL OR CDL will serve you completely 2. For "precision" taking photos that often skill a heavy barreled rifle and those days a guy made inventory. i'm uncertain if Remington catalogs certainly one of those rifle in .30-06 yet i'm specific the custom keep could build one for you. 3. Silencer ? rather ? reckoning on the state you reside in this might ensue or it rather is a pipe dream. examine you shut by gun rules to work out while you're allowed NFA form kit on your firearms.

Answer 5

no. All 30-06 ammo is the same size. The 710 is the Remington Model. NICE GUN my friend.

Answer 6

Depends on what your hunting. The smaller the game the less bullet weight you need to get to the vital organs. If your just punching paper, get whatever the rifle shoots best. I hunt with 150 grain bullets for deer in Georgia, but it I was hunting Elk somewhere then I'd opt for the 180 grain bullets.

Answer 7

All ammo will work, but some ammo will work much better. JHP or Soft Point is required for hunting, and the bigger the bullet and larger the powder load, the safer the kill.

Answer 8

well, it will matter, depending on what you're hunting. if you're hunting for deer in brushy country, you will want a larger (i.e., heavier bullet). If you're hunting Antelope, you will want a smaller bullet with higher inital FPS rating (Feet Per Second)
