I'm sure he loaded these... we have all his brass, & at one time he had 6 - 30-06 rifles & I don't even have 400 30-06 cases that came from him...
well... he was known to load pretty hot... he was early & heavy into the 17 Remington cartridge, & was pushing some, where the bullet would come apart before it got to the target ( for example ) he also loaded for MRS when she was shooting an '06 mountain lite, so hot, that at the public range, shooting sliding deer, the gun would knock her back 3ft, & knock off her safety glasses ( I credit the rifle abuse to her lack of enthusiasm shooting today... he had many guns, & could have easily gotten her into something lighter shooting, that still had plenty of power for deer )
I still have several of his handloads, they are all well labeled, & not above book maximums, but all are right there at max...
I'd suspect that these have been loaded many times, probably why the headstamps are light on many of them... I haven't found any loose pockets yet, but am always on the lookout for them...
