[QUOTE="TRexF16, post: 2208494, member: 108912"] I still have my 9.3x62, 35 Whelen AI, and two .338-06s, yet I can't argue with the final sentence above, at least for North American game. I'm a rifle loony and just enjoy messing with those cartridges. I got a lot of the Nosler 200 grain partition blems from SPS recently and have been playing with loads for the 30-06. H4831 will get you pretty close to 2700 FPS, but RL-26 will easily exceed that while staying under max. 60 grains does it for me in my 22" barrel, but that particular rifle always gets more pressure and velocity than most from a given charge, so I have learned to always start low and work up in it, expecting to hit max a grain or two below published. Most folks online have needed more than 60 grains RL-26 to get 2700 FPS. We now return you to the celebration of the Medium Bores... ;o) Rex [/QUOTE]
