[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 2011412, member: 51405"] I am trying to decide on a bullet to for my 30-06 that I am dusting off. It fell out of favor for a few years but I am going to use it as a Little bit of a testing platform. I have a 28N, 280AI, and a 6.5 Creedmoor in the stable also, and use Bergers in those...195, 168, and 140 respectively. So in this gun I want to try some ABLR to see how they perform at the range and in the field compared to the Bergers. I am thinking I want to stay away from the 168’s in the ‘06 because if I am going to shoot a 168gr, why not use the 280ai and get (likely) much better better velocity (I get right about 3000 in the 280ai)? And I haven’t ever used anything above a 180 in the gun, so I want to play with the 190 and 210’s a bit, and I am kind of curious about the 210’s bc I haven’t ever loaded anything above 200gr in any of the guns I have. I am guessing based on published load data, but when I use 2800 and 2700 for the 190’s and 210’s, the 210’s perform better across the board, based on energy. [B]What are people actually seeing velocity-wise with these bullets, and what powder do folks recommend?[/B] I have H4350, H4831sc, N560 and 565, H1000, and Retumbo. I’m thinking I’ll start with N560 but curious have other recommendations for powders I already have. Any other thoughts people have? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
