Hi
i wonder if anyone has tested 3006 factory loadings in carbines with 18 inch barrel?
what would be the velocity in such a short rifle?

If you haven't got the .30-06 carbine yet, in a word, don't. Your ears will thank you for it, been there.

That's a rare find, a friend of mine in northern Alberta has one. It's the only one I've personally seen, I think it was built in the early fifties.

yes it is called 1950 model and it is really a babe very well balanced and accurate, but i have no scope mount on it any way it is real good for near contact. i have a ruger m77 with scope sight and 22 inch barrel for long range hunting.

I have one, great bush gun for hogs and it is loud, but life is too short to run around with a pair of ear plugs

I have a 18.5 scout and i lose about 200fps and it is vary loud but with 220r bullets it kills hogs well

I have a Remington 760 Carbine in 270 (not quite what you asked but close). I lose about 400 fps in that rifle with its 18" barrel.

One of the "best mountain man hunters" I ever knew used a Mod. 760, 30-06 18" barrel with nothing but commercial loads. I believe once he used my reloads, but only once. roger

I used to have an 18.5" Ruger RLSDZ (ultra-light with sights and laminated stock) and do I ever miss that rifle. Perfect stalking/walking/packing rifle if I ever saw one. HOWEVER, I like my Rem 7600 pump carbine (18" bbl) in 35 Whelen too. Since I handloaded for the 30-06 RLSDZ I did not see any drop in performance over what might be factory velocity.

i am looking for some very nice loads adopted to this short barrel , both for reducing the muzzle flash and better burning and velocity ratio!.just now i am not really in good health and can't develope some loads

I would not try anything slower burning that 4064.

i have a can of h4895 and norma 203B and 202, but just now my health is so bad that i am afraid i have to test the rounds in vallhalla
i would love to load 220 nosler pt @ 2300 fps for hunting deer in the bear rich areas if i get better

No I have not chronographed a barrel that short in a 30.06, but I would expect you to be about 300 fps below advertised velocities. YMMV.
