30-06 Imp max

I have just got this going this week, my new 30-06 Imp max.

I took the 6 BRX barrel off my Barnard P, XLR Chassis & NSX 12-42 x 56 & put one of Dan Hardies new barrels on it, 30 cal, 33" 1-10 twist.

I haven't fired many rounds through it yet but initial performance is pleasing to say the least, virtually no copper fouling with the Berger 230 Hybrids, .743 BC :cool:

I have a suppressor as well as the T2 Terminator muzzle brake to play with in the weekend when I intend to do some more load development.

I have a 280 & 30-06 Imp max in the works on Rem 700 platforms, it will be interesting to see how they stack up against each other :)

Damn, looks like still doing nearly 1700fps at 1000, and over 1500 ft/lb's. Pretty damn capable LR package

Looking pretty good so far, this mornings effort during brass evaluation.

You can run 2209 with the light projectiles, RL17 gives better velocity.

I only have data on me for LC 30-06 brass at 70.1 grains of water & my 30-06 imp max is 76-77 depending on brass used.
