Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Heavy Bullets in the 30-06

I have been working with the heavier 200 gr plus bullets in my 30-06 recently as well. I have been using the Superformance powder and getting good results with the Sierra 200 gr Game king, the 200 gr NP as well as the 208 gr Hornady Eld M. All got up to about 2700 fps and into an inch or a tad better in my Tikka 30-06.

Hornady lists 56.7 gr as max for 2650 fps for both 200 gr and 208 gr ELD bullets. I was using federal 210 primers and Nosler brass.
