[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 2066147, member: 59526"] In my opinion any numbers you see in any manual for 30-06 are conservative since they are limited to 58 ksi. Most people load until they see pressure. I’m not one of those but I know good and well a quality rifle in 2020 is stronger than an 03 and it’s also not a Garand. Same thing as limiting yourself to trapdoor 45-70 loads when in reality a marlin or Henry will handle 30-40 ksi without issue. A friend of mine is a load until you see pressure and work back down type. I think his load after backing down from pressure was ~2750 ft/sec with either a 200 or 212 eld-x over reloader 16. I REALLY like RL-16 with bullets over 180’s in the 06. For 165’s and 180’s I got top velocity and good accuracy with H4350. Most accurate load to date has been over Ramshot Hunter with a WLRM primer [/QUOTE]
