Try using big game and gain at least 50 fps. I’m
Getting new average of 2950 with the 168s using 56.5 gr. Of big game /CCI in tikka with 22”. Little over max load (2940-2960 fps).
I don’t know if it was due to warm weather or my tikka got faster as it used to be around 2920

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
