[QUOTE="JimCraig, post: 872629, member: 52673"] If the OP is intent on using just 180s then sure, go ahead and just build and 06. Probably will get more barrel life and recoil less. But in my opinion to limit oneself to 180 grain bullets across the entire .30 cal spectrum is a huge waste of potential for the more powerful chamberings. What Hornady ballistic calculator doesn't explain is the potential that a .30 cal rifle has when launching 208-230 grain projectiles. Compared to a 180 grain 06 they are completely dominant ballistically. Whether its a 700 or 1300 yard shot. Wait...probably not going to get a 1300 yard shot with that 06. My 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
