Thread: 30-06 questions

I have used 150's for hunting in my various .30/06's since 1967. Nothing gets up and runs away! With a short barrel you would need to go to faster burning powders such as Bench Mark 2 or AR2206 to get complete combustion. I also run a .30/06 long barrel long-range rifle that performs well past 1000 metres pushing a 167 grain Lapua Scenar at 2950 fps. The combination of a long barrel and a slow powder gives the velocity at safe pressures. .30/06 is not the question, it is the answer!
