Dwayne,
Thanks for the information. I have made up my mind to just go standard 30-06. I will be putting a new take off remington barrel on an existing 30-06 that currently has a 22" barrel. The current barrel is a slow barrel, I've tried different powders, seating depths, bullets, you name it. 165 gr barely reach 2700 fps and my 200 grain loads average 2475. It shoots good just slow, in fact there is only about 20fps difference with the same load with it and one of my 20" barreled 30-06's. Just thought it would be fun to run a 24" on a 30-06 and see what it could do.
Good luck to you this fall as well. My most anticipated hunt is my wife's Shiras moose hunt in 3 weeks.
