My very old Hornady data shows the following for 150-155gr bullets in the 30/06 with Varget - all with a 23 3/4" barrel:
41.0gr - 2,500 fps
43.6gr - 2,600 fps
46.3gr - 2,700 fps
49.0gr - 2,800 fps
51.6gr - 2,900 fps
I've hunted enough with loads that start around 2,650 fps at the muzzle to know that out to 250 or even 300 yards, I would be happy starting with about 45 grains of Varget and working up from there.
