Kind of the same question asked about the 150 grainer but just using a 170 grain FP bullet. Was thinking of using starting loads listed for 180 grainers and working from there. Anyone have a good load? would like to run them around 2500 fps.
I guess the next question here is WHY? I mean, you can probably pull this off. I've made a Mosin Nagant shoot like a 30-30 and a 300 Savage-- but that was for my son as a yute rifle. I've made a 308 WIN work like a 300 Savage, because the recoil was lighter and I was using it to take deer from my bow-oriented treestands.
'06 cases have a lot more volume. I've knocked 8% off a MAX H4895 load and gone hunting with a 165 grainer for years. It's a near-perfect deer load in my mind. However, it's a long way from 30-30 velocities.
Let's take a step back and look at your motivations for doing the project, and then maybe we can better advise you.
