280ai, with a 1-8 twist shooting 180 Bergers or eld-m
I should clarify. I want to adjust this chamber, not rebarrel to something else. Thanks though

Old school wildcat that's gonna give a good boost over '06. It may be a bit of a chore finding a reamer and dies.

The Ackley 30-06 improved is a possibility. the online Nosler reloading data has 30-06 improved data. With RL22 they show approximately 150+/- fps improvement over the standard 30-06. Dies are available, from RCBS (not off the shelf usually) and others.
I would look at the Sherman dies and reamer just a phone call awayI have a chassis 30-06 i chambered for LR military competitions. Now I want to supersize itWhat variants don't you know of that give the basic 30-06 a real boost AND I can still use saami cases to ff. Thanks.

I believe you'd have to either use cream of wheat method to fire form first, or load bullets to the lands to fire form for the Gibbs or Sherman. 30-06 AI you could load standard 30-06 as long as it's chambered for crush fit. I believe you could get AI dies (Hornady) for a reasonable price.
that
shoot elkaholic a message he will explain everything in detail I spoke with him the other day about a 6.5 Sherman very nice guy and very helpful you can find his website at Sherman wildcats
yeah, i will second the Sherman. Rich is an outstanding guy i have a 7 Sherman max being built for long range elk and i have a 6.5 Sherman short that is darn near done! i Just shot out my 300 rum so im looking in to the 338 Sherman as another thumper.
