[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1501486, member: 12995"] Not picking a side here, but I must say... 62gr of RL22 behind a 180 is going to cause some serious pressure problems in just about any standard chambered .30-06 Springfield. I have a .30-06 AI, and pushing a 185 VLD with 62.5 grains of IMR 7828 SSC (slower than RL22) is on the edge of serious pressure problems, and that load is pushing the 3,000 FPS range from a 26" 1:12 twist barrel. That load is nipping at the heels of .300WM velocities. A standard .30-06 Sprg. will never get there before it blows up the rifle. Another member on here named "JeffNV" also shoots a .30-06 AI with 185 Juggernauts and 62.5 gr of 7828 SSC and his load's ballistics are nearly identical to mine. [/QUOTE]
