[QUOTE="Guest, post: 26529"] Just C, There is no downside to spinning a bullet past what is necessary for stability, unless the bullet is poorly made, or has a large CG offset, then accuracy will suffer. This holds true especially for varmints, because there is not a requirement for a penetration threshold. I can promise you the 30-06 will not spin a 125 Nosler ballistic tip too fast for varmints. We use this bullet in the .308 AR-10's with 51 gr. of Varget and it goes 3,160 fps. It is my favorite short range deer load. Three years ago I shot a 235 lb. whitetail from 20 yards away, broke his right front shoulder bone going in and left a 3 inch exit hole on the opposite side 5 inches behind the left front shoulder. 11.25 was the twist, and 3,180 was the velocity. Varget in a 30-06 should easily get you to 3,200 fps. Start at 52 grains and work your way up. If you are a velocity freak, try AA 2520 and you may see 3400 depending on your barrel length.
