[QUOTE="30-06 boy, post: 209450, member: 5097"] i dont have personal experience with that caliber.but i do know that the velocities you are getting are a little slow for 180 grain bullets.and you said you are around 5 to 7 grains of powder shy of listed max.in most of my rifles,i can go past the listed max safely.but accuracy is not usually"up in the clouds".i have a mauser 98 that has been sporterized and rebarreled to 30-06.it craters with middle of the road loads.you should(i think)be able to get 3350 fps out of your rifle,so 3180 seems a tad slow.watch for heavy bolt lift,flat primers,circular shiny"smear" marks on case head. and high velocity.these along with primer cratering is what i watch for.i've found in my loading for distance shooting most loads seem to "shoot" 3-5 grains from max.jasongun) [/QUOTE]
