[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 950005, member: 69478"] Thanks for all the information guys. I mentioned seeing a lot of '06 shooters loading RL-22 with the 208s, and they are getting upwards of 2700+ fps with 26" barrels! Well I looked over the burn chart again today and realized that RL-22 is just under IMR 7828, that is fairly slow powder! I thought 7828 was way to slow for the '06 but maybe it will work with those big 208s. My local shops always have a couple cans of 7828 sitting on the shelves and we have about five pounds of both IMR 7828 and the 7828 SSC. If this seems to be to slow then I will try the little bit faster H-4831. I looked everywhere for .30-06 loads using RL-22 and IMR 7828 and have found that their charges for the heavy slugs are within .5gr of each other so they are pretty much equals according to the burn chart and powder charges. Hopefully this proves to be true and the 2600fps mark I'm looking for can easily be achieved with safe loads of 7828. [/QUOTE]
