[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1857216, member: 87243"] Neither the Sherman nor Gibbs can shoot factory 30-06 ammo unfortunately. In the Sherman you use .270 brass and either jam the bullet or size up to 338 then down to 30 for a false shoulder and load up and shoot/do COW method, factory ammo wouldn't head-space. Your best bet if you require the ability to shoot factory ammo would be the 30-06 Ack. imp. 40*, and your best bet if you want all out top performance from that bolt face and your current barrel would be the 30 Sherman. Would be about like a 300 wm. Not sure exactly what the 30-06 ack. imp. would get you? I only know of one, and he was shooting 220's around 2600, but that is going from memory, and I have no knowledge of his load, pressure, or any other specifics. But I would think about half way between a standard 06' and a 300 wm would be about where you would land. Just guessing. If nothing else, you wouldn't have to trim brass as much ha ha. [/QUOTE]
