Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 3000 FPS with 180 g. 30-06

Here is the rest of the story:

"...My 30-06, on the other hand, drives a 180 grain bullet at a chronographed (and witnessed ) 3000 fps from a 26 inch barrel. "

I have several 06s with 24 inch barrel and one with a 26 inch barrel and I have never been able to do better than about 2800 fps with any of them. What am I doing wrong? Other than reading the wrong gun rag?

Grins,
Jim
