212 eldx. Over 58 gr superformance in 30-06

[Mooseknuckles]

I just loaded up some 208 amax for my 30-06 with Superformance. Started at 54 grain went up to 57.5. In half grain increments. Once the weather clears up I will get out and shoot them.

A 212 gr eldx at 2800 fps hits with 1678.7 fps and 1326.5 lbs at 1000 yards. What is your 6.5-06 shooting to be better than that?

It's not..... the biggest difference is. The 30-06 is a pump action 5.5 lb pack gun... the 6.5-06 is a heavy barreled long piped bipod setup more tuned for longer tosses than a 4x fixed power brush beeter..... sure the 06 will run the distance..... just not anywhere near accurate enough to be safe to shoot say 1000 with it and expect a kill zone shot on a gun that's lucky to group 1 moa

I started at 56.... at 57 the tone changed and at 58 it went to a crisp crack but perfect primers on both.... but I could be long enough that being set to almost at lands is helpful in higher charge loads

Rockin... my 6.5 uses 143 gr eldx. And so far ive only ran 20 rounds that were descent accuracy but slow about 2750 which were given to me for the brass..... haven't got a full chance to play with it yet....
