Likewise I'm getting fantastic performance with 178gn ELDM'S 2930fps out of the 24" barrel.....granted I'm Ackley improved.
I reckon the advantage of case volume with the dirty 06 is best realized with heavier projectiles (if you can mitigate the extra recoil).
But it needs the barrel length to use that advantage, personally I would've shorten it any further or you will just have a long action 308 that needs more powder to achieve similar results....Just my 2 cents (steps back......puts on flame suit)
