Factory 165 gr NAB

Had a first for me today. As you can see I'm shooting prone out of the bed of my truck. A truck pulls up next to me, so I pop my head up a few time trying to determine what he is doing. After a few seconds he gets out of his truck and is starting to walk down range (mind you this is a one person lane). I yell, "what are you doing?". I startled him to the point he said he almost drew his weapon on me. OK? Then tells me he didn't know anyone was there. My remark, "was the truck not a good enough indicator?" Of course not, he then goes on to tell me that I remind him of this mass murderer who shot people lying in their vehicle just as I was.

Ha ha, Who the heck was this joker?

21 or 22" is my favorite 30-06 barrel length, and my favorite all-time 30-06 had a 21" barrel. Velocity readings were within 20 fps prior to cutting it from its original length.

Any rifle that will shoot a 165 NAB like that is a keeper... that bullet is not one for small groups usually.
