    Load for tikka/sako 168 eldm 30/06

    Gidday , Has any of you forum lads found a good load for these rifles with 168 eldm as had the 178 going well but run out of those and have plenty 168.

    presume ADI 2209 would be the go can't shed any info on how much, If my 30-06AI sells I may have a stash of 178gn eldm's to trade for 168's if that would suit and you're not in a huge hurry.

    I have two .30/06s I load with 165 ABs. One takes 58.5 of 2209 for 2930 fps and great accuracy. The other likes a grain less. REM brass and Fed match primers. Both rifles are 700s.
