[QUOTE="MontanaMarine, post: 810698, member: 268"] With a 208 AMax or 210 Berger you will be able to make about 2800 fps via RL22 and a 26" bbl. VV N560 and Norma MRP should get you there too. The advantages of that over a 168 at say 2900-3000 fps are no mystery, it's just what Jeff said. A quick check via JBM will quantify the ballistic advantages. The key to maximizing the 30-06 with the heavies is getting the right powder under them to yield the potential velocities that the 30-06 case volume can produce. The 168 gr school of thought generally calls for medium powders like 4350, 4895, RL15, etc. When you step up to 200+ gr bullets you need to move up to a slower powder and fill up the case to get the most out of the chambering.
