30-06, 200 grain bullet, 2700 fps....
Best way for those three things to come together is with a 26" barrel, not 22" .
Wtf are you bringing up an old thread to try to disprove everyone here that said they can get 2700 fps with a 200gr pill and a 22" barrel?
Not every 30-06 with 22" barrel ( or even 24" ) attained 2700 fps in this thread. A longer barrel would get a more complete burn, and yield higher velocities-making it easier to reach 2700 fps with 200 grain jacketed bullets.
Read German Salazar's posts about his experiences with match shooting with his 30-06 (300 - 1000 yards, with 1-11" twist, 4 -groove barrel). Very interesting. He finds 28" barrels in 30-06 with 200-215 grain bullets as optimum for 2700+ fps MV. I am not saying 2700 fps/200 grains can't be done with a 22-24" tube, but a 26" barrel in 30-06 shooting 200 grainers makes it more attainable with more powder options.
A 26" 30-06 barrel makes for a heck of platform for the 30-06 and heavy bullets, giving more complete burn rate in a reasonable barrel length. That's my point.
