We have probably discussed this before, but what muzzle velocity were you getting?

The 286 Partition load I've used gets around 2475 fps.


Those figures are close to what I experienced and not much different than many 300 gr 375 H&H factory loads I have chronographed. With equal sectional density to the 286 gr 9.3x62 and appx same velocities, the difference of 15 grains of Bullet weight and the difference in diameter only the depth of the rifling, it's no wonder we don't see a lot of difference in the field.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
