One last set of QuickLOAD simulations. This time barrel length is shortened from 24" to 22", which is what my rifles have. Case fill ratio is again limited to 100% to eliminate compressed loads. All other inputs are also as before, .308 Win @ SAMMI 62KPSI and .30-06 at SAAMI 60KPSI and .30-06 +P at 62KPSI.
Again I stopped listing data at 2600fps for the .308 Win and 1700fps for both .30-06 simulations.
The .308 Win maxes out at 2653fps while the .30-06 hits 2831fps at SAAMI and 2836 at +P pressures.
For myself, I'll stick with BL-C(2), Varget and CFE223 for the .308 Win and H4350 for the .30-06. No need to change a good thing.
