[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1655153, member: 48043"] I shoot a standard and haven't lost a 30-06 case yet ( my brother had a couple of whelen stamped casings crack)... I've only got a few cycles on them so far though. I'm using rl15 with a 220 speer and netting around 2700 fps. I've also tried a 259 grain mono (think barnes tsx) that Edd sent me a few of to work with. That man's pills shoot well; I simply dropped one into the barrel and found the jamb, kicked it out, and ran it up from start load for a 250 mono up to where I thought I'd hit 2500 fps or so. Pressure topped at 2400 fps and the rifle was sub moa with no seating depth adj. or powder changes. rl15 all the way so far... I have a keg each of 4320 and 4895, but rl15 works so why play around? My brother originally owned the rifle (he wanted a larger bore with power that didn't bowl him off the bench)... I suggested the whelen as ruger was making the Hawkeye in it at the time. He called me up one day offering to sell, and I said yup... One of these days it'll prolly find it's way back to him ( I have a 338 and a 375h@h) but I'll shoot it until then. [/QUOTE]
