Thread: 30 06

Jake,

I picked up a Rem 700 .30/06 mid last year and loaded up 57 gns of 2209 behind a 180 Nosler BT.

This load is regarded a pretty reliable accurate and quicker (2700 fps) load for the 06.

The load shot bloody well 2x 4 shot 100 mm groups at 300 meters. But I blew 2 primers and one case cracked above the web. Primers were showing some chefs hatting.

At close to 2700fps you must be near max.

I have just tried some RL22 and AR2213 loads with the same projectiles. Not seeing the pressure and hope to get equal or better performance.
