you can get 2600 out of one, using H4831SC....
Thread from many years ago, I posted that and as per usual got flamed... until a guy from Nosler, who was their chief ballistician at the time....
He agreed with the post, and also pointed out that they did have pressure testing equipment...
as he stated on that long ago thread... "you can't get enough 4831SC in an 06 case to exceed SAAMI Specs"
you need to give it a light crimp, to keep the bullet from slowly backing out, as it is a compressed load...
but it won't loosen a primer pocket... LOL, yes, it was Chub Eastman, I can easily take 200gr partitions to 2800 fps with H-4831SC and a drop tube, did it safely many times with my old 24" barreled '06.
Trump Won!

Just tried the Barnes 250 in my pre war 06. Lapua cases that are headstamped “100 years of the 30/06”, Winchester large rifle primers, 55 grains of H4831sc. Average was 2328 snd an SD of 15. Good accuracy at 26 degrees. 54 grains shot a little better but no chrono readings. Pretty dark this afternoon snd the sun is low.
Ought to be a great bear load this spring. Normally run 220 Hornady or partitions in this rifle but I have these on the shelf.

I hesitate to post my findings, due to the usual crowds that love to flame someone, so they can appear they are smarter... I've got a couple of Enfields still in 06... sporterized.. one is a Winchester built and the other a Remington Built... not an Eddystone.. They still have the 26 inch barrels.. one, the Winchester, is still a 1918 made barrel... 200 grain Speers and Noslers with 4831Sc, clock 2950 fps out of the 26 inch barrel... and 2900 out of the 24 inch barreled one... in testing, the brass used on either, have been reloaded 10 times and still had tight primer pockets.. Enfield is my favorite action.. not as stylish as the Springfield action, but the Enfield is built like a 53 Buick.. which is why I love it so much...

Only problem I ever ran into with the 220NP was when I tried to load it for a Mod 70 FWT ( Douglas barrel). I was limited by the magazine length and when seated over a heavily compressed charge, the seating plug made a big circular dent in the nose. I didn't trust them to open right. They might have and about then I found another rifle for what I was after.
