My father-in-law gave me some handloads that his father had developed for the .30-06 that were extremely mild loads because they used handcast lead bullets. Firing through a Springfield 1903A1, I found the loads to pleasurable to shoot (compared to the shoulder breaking loads that my father liked to load for hunting) and very accurate at the short distance I was shooting. Given the low power, bullet drop is probably too much for useful long range shooting, but they were fun to shoot!
