all around rifle

[american spirit]

ended up getting a remington 760 30-06, pump action with a 4.5x scope for $300 in pennsylvania. previously owned by a lefty and very lightly used. figure it will be good to get my feet wet, and can handle the father in laws adhd problem when he decides to do some elk last minute. price was too good to pass up. good starter gun.

any recommendations for loads would be awesome. i'll be hunting in a heavily wooded area that has a lot of pipe lines and valleys. apparently shots won't be any farther than 70-100 yards away.

My Grandfather had some weird special made guns. One was an Over/Under .22/-.30/30. I have no idea what happened to it or the rest of them.

Buy three boxes of 180 grain and shoot them, practice will make more difference then which load.
