[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1190761, member: 63138"] My 30-06 liked both the 212s and the 178s but the barrel is a 26" 1 in 10 Krieger. At 200 yards the worst groups while incrementing up in powder were around 2 inches but most of the groups were around 1.4" and on a node it would run about 0.8". (It was nice that max velocity corresponded to the tightest group.) Average velocity was 2,908 fps which is pretty sporty for a 178 gr bullet in an 06. ES was 18 fps. The 6.5mm 143s shot good in my 6.5 WSM and my buddies 264 WM. The 220s shot good in his 300 RUM. The 200s and 178s shot good in my 300 WSM (like 0.5MOA). Out of all of the load workups we have done the worst was the 212s in my 300 RUM. The best I could get was 1.7" at 200 yards but the barrel is a crappy factory barrel so I wasn't surprised I couldn't get it to shoot any better than that. Last up is the 175s. I'll be starting on them in a 28 Nosler on Monday. I'm liking what I've seen so far. [/QUOTE]
