[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 679070, member: 29890"] There is nothing wrong with the good ole 06, its been around for 106 years, probably isn't much that hasn't been harvested with it. If you want to leave it 30-06 and use 168 bergers I would put a 26" 12 twist tube on it in a number 5 contour about .75" at the muzzle. I reccomend Travis at RBrothers, Kevin at Montour county rifles, or Kirby Allen to do the work for you. If you switch calibers the 6.5-06, 6.5x284, 280rem, or 284win have better ballistics. But the new 168 berger otm from the 06 in a 12 twist 26" tube can get you in the 3100fps range, with its .519bc it can be stretched pretty far. If you're using 168 hunting vlds in a 10 twist you are way over stabilizing them with around a 3.2 stability factor, all is reccomended is a 1.4 and anything over 1.0 is stable. Good luck it'll be fun which ever way you decide. [/QUOTE]
