Custom 30-06: High Velocity Load Development

[@redteam9881]

26” barrel gives you the extra vel. I mostly just shoot 56.0 of IMR 4350 with 180gr NP in my 06 for many years.

Many thanks. Loaded for bear.

Just starting load development with my 30-06 Ackley. Yesterday I was pushing 208gr Bergers at 2700-2800 fps. Factory Remmy 150s do 3000+. I'm running a 30" Proof Research barrel

Excellent work dude, what bullet were you shooting?

[@mountainmanmilitia3806]

168gr ELD-M

What's the average fps gain you get from a hot load over a factory load?

[@luizalex.7424]

Around 140

[@mountainmanmilitia3806]

168gr factory loads normally in the 2700-2800 ballpark.
