a friend was trying to get 3000fps with .308 winchester and 150grn projectiles....I loaded up 5 different lots of powder for him at levels I WAS HAPPY WITH...but refused to load what he wanted me to do as no data to support it....suggeted he get a 30/06 if wanted to achieve goal...."nah dont want one they recoil too much" was reply......
this fella now uses a 300 magnum and reckons its the ducks nuts.....
