I used 56 gr. RS Big Game, Win. brass, and Fed 215 in a friend's '06 with the 150 E-tip (blems from SPS) with excellent accuracy in that Springfield A3 rifle @ ~1.25" three shots at 100yd. 3.340" COAL. This load shot better than factory Barnes 168TTSX load. Nothing has been shot yet with this combo b/c #1- it's California. #2- the Nat. For. are always on fire.

I haven't tried Big Game. I did try IMR 4451 - sub MOA at a bit over 3000. I only have 2.5 lbs of it 
Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.

Hey Scott!
Been shooting the 150 etip in my 308 all spring. 2880 in my Kimber. Been thinking of taking it, mainly because it's my favorite rifle and I've killed a pile of animals with it. But a fast stepping 150 launched from the 06 shoots flatter. I should be able to get 3000 - 3050. Depending on the your rifle and lot of powder but, 3050-3100 FPS should be obtainable.

R17 if you have any. It’ll give you the best speed and typically gives stellar accuracy. 30-06 150g N E-tip RL-17: 57-58g CCI 200 primer COAL: 3.300" FPS: ~3000 depending on bbl length

If it doesn't like the e-tips I would definitely look at the absolute hammers
