[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 610023, member: 10832"] Are those 30'06 velocities? I ran some numbers based on the velocity I get with the 165's and what Jim gets with the 190 gr VLD's. The results are below with these parameters, 650 yards, 50 degrees, 50% humidity, 25.8 station pressure (approximately 4000 feet). 165gr 85.9 drop 29.2 wind 1860 fps 1267 ft lb 190 gr 93.2 drop 26 wind 1858 fps 1455 ft lb I was a little surprised the 190's didn't do better. I think there just isn't enough umph in the '06 to get the increased performance that the 190's could give. Still excellent performance though and I would be comfortable at 650 yards with these loads assuming accuracy is there. Scot E. [/QUOTE]
