[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1484007, member: 10178"] I know you are running a can so how will it handle all that powder that will be burning inside it? I had a friend that had a Rem 742 carbine in 30-06 and he made the statement that when hunting in the very early morning or late evening if you take a shot at game you better have on your sun glasses because the fire ball will blind you for a while afterward. I have a Russian M-38 and M-44 carbine in 7.62x54R which burns about the same amount of powder as the 06 and when I was shooting these in the carbine section of the military matches I used to shoot in people on the positions on both sides of me would stop shooting and move away until I finished because the concussion from the muzzle blast was so bad. LOL My M-44 is a tack driver though. We shot the carbine matches at only 50 yards and the M-44 would shoot ragged hole 10 shots in the center of the X-ring with my handloads. These are stock military rifles. Only change allowed in any rifle was front sight pin or blade height so you could correct the average 300 yards battle sight POI which was about 6 inches to a foot high at 100 yards. I don't know the game or the yardage you intend to shoot but I have been using the Nosler 125 Ballistic Tip on white tail deer for a number of years in a number of 30 cal. weapons. As long as you keep the impact velocity under 3000 fps it is a super drop them in their tracks deer killing bullet to a little over 300 yards which is as far away as I have shot a deer with it.
