I had never messed with the '06 much. Recently, I inherited a Savage 110, Left-hand 30-06 from my Father-IN-Law. I have tons of 150 Interlocks, so that bullet got the nod. With 4451, I found a load that is right at 3000 fps and shoots 1/4-1/2 moa, when my shooting cooperates. I get 2934 out of my .308 loads with the same bullet, so not a huge difference, really. The '06 gets to 3000 with a number of different powders, has great brass availability and works with many bullet weights. It is really hard to argue against that.

I was considering a re-barrel to something a bit more interesting (?), but I have decided to keep it as is for a bit and kill a few deer with it at least.
