Been doing a lot of shooting lately, mostly with my 6.5s. My buddy came over and we went shopping at Sportsman's Whorehouse. He bought some Big Game and Tac- I bought some Accurate Mag Pro. All are ball powders.
We tried some different loads in his vintage Ruger 77 30-06 using 150 grain Ballistic tips and Sierra GKs ( this is what he had) With IMR 4895 and 4064 we could only get about 2850-2890 out of the 22" barrel. With Big Game we easily got 3030 FPS and TAC gave us 2995. Barrel was fairly easy to clean with the Ramshot compared to the 4895.
He was tickled.
As an aside, the Mag Pro really shined in my 6.5-284 with 140 AMAX but I hear it is not as Temp stable as some.
