My barrel is a 1-8 twist, 24� long. Here are my loads:

WW brass and CCI 250 primers for all.

140g A-MAX, 49.0g H4831SC, ~2660fps � Fireform loads
140g A-MAX, IMR7828SSC, 3063fps
130g Scirocco II, IMR7828SSC, 3161fps

The fireform load was chosen because I had a lot of H4831SC I wasn�t using any more. The load is just shy of Hornady�s current max load for a standard (non-AI) 6.5-06. I lose about 5% velocity from the Hornady 6.5-06 data but it shoots great.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
