    Buzz, use 60 grains. Start a 58 with a 150.
    Should get 2900 plus. 3000 in a 24 inch tube.

    I use 62 grains of 2209 and get 2980fps from a 22 inch barrel, for one inch groups with a 150 grain interlock. Been using it for years.

    @buzzmann wern't you using 165's in your short barrel 308 and getting good results? Why not run them in the 3006?
