    Tentman, .30/06 is the itch I've returned to this year after a brief fling back in the late 90s. I shooting 180's BT's and have just loaded some 178 ELDx's. 2700 fps is about where it is with 2209, RL22 and 2213SC maybe give you an extra 100+ fps. 22-24 inch tubes on R700s.

    I used to shoot .30-06 with 178 A-Max and RE22 for whitetail when I lived in Missouri. A-Max was great but RE22 was very temp sensitive.

    178 ELD-M would be the go too.
