I also plan on trying 250gr RN Woodleighs in the near future out of the 8mm-06 @ 2450fps

That 250 grain Woodleigh in that 8mm/06, just looks RIGHT! and all business like...

no doubt about it hitting in the right spot, It will down an awfully big animal just fine...

I sure like the 250 grain Hornady RN in my 338/06, out the muzzle at 2650 fps...
