8mm-06
Max average pressure for 30-06 is 60,000 psi
Barrel = 23.5"
OAL = 3.25
bullet: .323, 175, Sierra SP 2410
H4895 54 gr 2816 fps 60,000 psi 96.6% Powder fill
H414 61.3 gr 2884 fps 60,000 psi 99.6% Powder fill
H4350 57.5 gr 2615 fps 43,338 psi 100% Powder fill
H4350 60.3 gr 2758 fps 50,800 psi 105% Powder fill
H4350 63.3 gr 2908 fps 60,000 psi 110.1% Powder fill
It has been my experience that you can use up to ~98% powder fill on ball powder and ~105% with stick powders. Any more than 100% stick powder fill and you will hear some crunch when the bullet is seated.
