Hard to compare apples to apples in some of these manuals.

It would be nice to compare loads from the same manual.Sort of like apples to apples.


I don't have the Nosler manual. But I just looked at the Sierra Manual. It lists velocities for the 30'06 and the 35 Wh with a 26" barrels! Not sure how realistic that is for what most guys will be shooting. But here goes regardless.

30'-06
180 gn RN C.O.L. 3.200 2800 fps with IMR4831 and H4831SC and a few others
220 gn RN C.O.L. 3.270 2500 fps with IMR4831 and H4831SC

35 Wh
225 gn Sp Pt C.O.L. 3.250 2700 fps with VVN140 2650 with IMR 4895
No 250 gn bullets listed.

Wonder if some of the differences in freebore between the RN bullets and Spire Pt will results in faster published velocities with the Nosler manual.

I have a 35 Wh.Imp. but haven't used it all that much. Last time I chronographed the loads I was using I got about 2950 fps average with a 200 gn bullet Rem Soft Pt. Never did trust that chronograph much though. I have a different one now. But I haven't checked the loads through the newer one.
