[QUOTE="liltank, post: 407089, member: 13275"] 30-06 is an under rated caliber for the .308 bullet. It will definitely push the 175's up to 190's with authority. I would say a 180 or 185 grain bullet would be perfect for that rifle. Set up properly, it would be a real shooter. Served well in WWI and WWII with distinction. Just not a lot of guys have them set up due to recoil, and better calibers to offer a little better ballistics. For about 10 more grains of powder you can really push the same bullet much harder in a WSM, then you can always go with the old standby 300WM. SOOOO, it is a matter of preference. Tank [/QUOTE]
