I worked up loads for a friend's 30-06. Pushing 165 AB's with 63 gr's, compressed, of RL22 produces 3070 fps in his 22" Rem 700.
I was amazed. It would have never worked out that way had it been my gun. Mine would have likely hit 2850 max. That's just the way it goes for me.
I get the same speed from my 300 WSM with 165's. He calls it my 30-06 because he knows I despise the cartridge. But, I surely cannot argue its merit.
