Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Hornady builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Hornady 30-06 165gr CX Superformance until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
The .30-06 Springfield was adopted by the US Army in 1906 and served through both World Wars and Korea. It went on to become one of the most popular big-game hunting cartridges in North America, and with bullets from 150 to 220 grains it can handle nearly any game on the continent, from whitetail deer to elk and moose.
