[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1619442, member: 97414"] I took a bit of a hit switching from my 7 magnum rifles when I returned to my mid size case... The only way I could keep my velocities up in my 308 & 30/06 was to drop the boolitz weight,,, always the 175/180gr category for the Ought-6,,, 165/180's for my 308... I long throated my 30/06 since my bottom feed allows for it,,, 3.787 COAL that allows for a bit more charge... I've run the 180gr boolitz to 2860ft-per seconds,,, Supform powder... I'm all about accuracy,,, so I went back to 2720 ish,,, much easier on brass... I ran that same 180gr boolit out of my 300 at 3100 ft-per seconds,,, but tapped kool settling in at 3060 ft-per seconds H1000,,, that's about 320 less ft-per seconds """ish""" change in velocities between the two... Of course that's not saying that either cartridge can't be loaded hotter depending on the rifle and owner... Its not so much about the power of the boolit for me now days since I follow the shot placement thing,,, less recoil helps me in the free hand department,,, the plus happens if I can find a solid rest. LOL. Yuppers,,, my 30/06 will never be what my 300's or 338 was,,, but my 30/06 and 08 allow me to shoot all day using a gel shoulder pad and this adds to the good times... Most of my shooting is between the 400 to 900 meter mark,,, the further the distance is where those magnums shine... Find what works,,, that's what really counts [/QUOTE]
