[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 941232, member: 42308"] This may be a little bit too far but I've recently been playing with the 230 Berger OTM tactical in my .30/06. I use that bullet with great effect from my 30/338 Win mag and always wondered how it would run in the smaller case of the .30/06. I started at 54.0g H4831sc and settled in on a nice accuracy node at 56.5g that yielded 2,454fps with a ten shot string ES of 21fps. I found a slight stick in the bolt lift at 57.0g (YMMV!!!) The .719G1 BC of that bullet makes it very attractive, even at the velocities the smaller case of the .30/06 can muster safely. It retains velocity and energy very well and I've personally seen that bullet function well down to 1850fps on whitetail deer (DRT) with a high shoulder shot placement. The .30/06 is no slouch (never has been) and with a 10 twist can handle the bigger 30 cal bullets with great results. Granted it's not a 300 win mag, so you won't likely break 2,500fps safely, but accuracy trumps velocity every time. Have fun, be safe. YMMV and we all like pictures... [/QUOTE]
