What is the real world difference in velocity in these tww cartridges. I'll be uaing 125-130gn Nosler, Swift and Hornady for long range deer. capt david  "It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds. Get closer! | ||

Assuming you are talking about the AI. Loaded to the same pressure you are looking 50-60 FPS. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

Thanks! At about what speeds using a 28" barrel. BTW I'm pretty conservetive, when it comes to reloading. capt david "It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds. Get closer! | |||

captdavid: I am getting about 3200 fps, with a Sierra 120 grain spitzer, and 54 grains of IMR4831. This in the standard 6.5-06FJC, with a 24" barrel. Jerry NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

Nice velocity for that amount of powder. With a 28 you should be looking at 3200-3300 at 63,000 or below. You will gain around 20fps per inch between the 24 & 28. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

Ramrod: If my rifle holds to your calculations, I would be getting about 3300fps, with a 28". I think you are right on. Jerry NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

I'm getting 3200 fps with a 130 gr TSX out of the 6.5/06 AI using a 25" barrel. That's at the very top end. Loose primer pockets any higher and at 3300fps I blew a primer. ------------------------------- Too many people........ | |||

My 6.5 Gibbs will get about 3300 with 130 TSX from a 26" barrel. Any more and primers loosen up as well. Makes for a flat shooter though. Mark A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which he proposes to pay off with your money. Gordon Liddy | |||
