This data seems pretty conservative but I'm getting a solid 2,700 fps with the max charge in a couple of 30-06s with 180-grain bullets. Still working on accuracy. Right now it's holding 1.25 MOA in two rifles using the Hornady 180-grain boat-tail.

Hate to quote myself but I used 56 grains under a 180-grain flat-base Hornady Interlock in a 30-06 to kill a young-ish black bear about a week ago. One shot at 353 yards did the trick.
