How time flys.
There was a time very long ago when hunters only had 2 guns, a 12 ga. shotgun and a 30-06 rifle, and when carrying the rifle the hunters often came across grouse that they wanted to shoot, and the ammo was "very" expensive, I think $1.00 a round.
This was called "The Load" , BTW reloading at the time was only for shot guns because the hunters were such good shots they didn't practice or use more than one shot per season. I'm not making this up.
Shotgun powder (Red Dot) was used and RD was used for everything, even my goose loads at the time.
Here is the load, 17 gr. RD in a 30-06 case pushing a .30 cal lead ball pressed into the neck of the cartridge. I never tried it (I didn't have a rifle) but the MV was supposed to be about 1200 fps.
You can start from there.
