Does anyone know what is the velocity as marked standard on the old swartklip 22 LR boxes ? I have purchased cci subsonic ammo at 1050 fps but my rifle is an old pump Winchester 1936 ? ;at that time there were no subsonic bullets I guess ; but I still have lots of swartklip standard velocity...

Thank you gents for the feedback ; most appreciated your insights ! So in summary for my loads I take then the recommendations as follows : 1- 3006 - < 60 grains of S365 - use CCI 200 2- 375 - >60 grains of S335 - use CCI 250

Can one use CCI 200 or CCI 250 primers for 3006 reloading ? what about the 375 - only CCI 250 to be used ?

Anyone with experience of reloading rhino bullets 165 gr for the 3006 cartridge ? what about grouping and accuracy ? what about performance on game ?

Thank you for your reply and information !

Areas that in my travellings I have seen quite devastated by elephants : parts of satara area in the knp ; riverine areas next to chobe river in botswana ; mahongo reserve - in namibia;

I have used 180 gr factory ammo before in my 3006 musgrave but started reloading and get a better accuracy grouping with the 168gr tsx ; so these days I stick to the 168's and have taken from oryx gazella to kudu bulls , nyala ,bushbuck ,impala ,mountain reedbuck and warthog ; I don't know...
