[QUOTE="montana west, post: 1864959, member: 113504"] yes, for the 3006AI . you can increase the load safely by 4% and more than likely 5% which will put you up too 300 H & H velocity.. YOU will need to use a little slower burning powder like R-22 Imr 4831. now for the Gibbs I have 20 years of experience with it in a 35 calibre.. I would use 280 remington brass. neck it up to 8mm or 338 then load a mild load with the bullet touching the rifles to fire form them. you by all means cannot-- I repeat do not fire 30/06 ammo in the gibbs chamber. the will be no headspace and all hell will break loose.. you need a 1mm longer case due to the 35* sholder in the gibbs. It is a bit of trouble but the results will be a magnum 30 cal rifle on a 280 rem case. the case will be 62.5 mm after firing which is perfect, you started with 64mm . My rifle is a 35 gibbs and I get 2825 with a 225 serria gameking bullet.. It is within 2% of the big 358 Norma- which is a very strong 35 magnum calibre.. you will need a 30 ca neck die but a 308 norma or 300 short mag die will work die will work with the right adjustment you need the 8mm or 338 ring on the case to have headspace for the forming of the case.
