[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 949769, member: 51650"] If you go with a 30/06 you should consider the 180/185 grain bullets. They have a high BC and can be driven to significantly higher velocities from the 30/06 in 26" than the heavier 200/210 class bullets. The real plus is IMR 4350 drives these bullets very well and has produced accurate loads in every 30/06 I've tried them in. 56,5 grains with a Remington 91/2 Magnum primer or 57 grains with a Federal #210 Match. Both of these loads generate 2930fps from my 27" bull barrel M98. It shoots a little fast. 30/06 is the best cartridge to come out of the 20th Century. But now I would get a 300 WinMag as brass is the same price as 30/06 and you can get 2950 fps from 210's in 26". The 300 WinMag closes the gap when shooting 180/185 vs. 200/210 in 308 caliber. Enjoy the 30/06! I love mine! KB [/QUOTE]
