The '06 would entertain you Big Time !

It is nothing like the .303, which I shot last week.

Get a Nosler Reloading Manual, and do what they say. I went from 5" factory groups to sub-minute with H-205, seating just behind the rifling, etc.

1903 Springfields would satisfy you, as would a Winchester M-70. I am told the new Savage is quite a great performer too, and somewhat inexpensive.

Look at either a Winchester, or Browning, both are good. Maybe you would like to look at 243, or 270. Both shoot flat, and would be great on Deer.

If you are new to reloading, get a good reloading manual ( Nosler) and read it. It will teach you everything. The National Rifle Association, has a book store that has some really excellent hand loading information. They had one called the Reloading Manual that is the cornerstone of reloading. Also they have and 800 number or look them up on the Internet.
P.S. do you know which rifle and caliber have taken the most game in the world.?? Try to guess and I will keep an eye on your postings if you get it right I will let you know.
