RL338 replied to the thread 30-06 and N555.I know in the older Hornady manuals they listed the 220 for dangerous game. Not sure I want to try stopping a charging elephant with it😁 -

Vihtavouri propellant is good stuff. I use Vit. N560 in my .25-06 & get great accuracy. It's pretty pricey here in UK at around...

Running the pressures of the 30-06 up to those for a 270 makes the 30-06 performance shine. I can get the 180 NAB leaving a 22" barrel...
