I was mistaken. I was looking at the Energy information not the FPS on my ballistics chart. I apologize for the confusion. Your are correct. My load is 1869 FPS @ 500 Yards and 1786 @ 550 Yards. It is 2837 @ the muzzle.

I have been reading articles on how hunters are taking shots while hunting over 200 yards with a 30-06. I'm confused about something. I use 150gr Accubond in my 30-06. According to Nosler, the minimum speed the Accubond bullet will expand is 1800 FPS. According to my load, I hit around 1800 FPS...

Thank you for you reply. It would be black bear. So a 150 or 165 would work? I didn't know if I should go to 180 or 200 grain.

I just picked up two boxes of Nolser 30-06 brass. This is the best looking brass I have ever seen! Everything was perfect on each casing and the prep work was done. That being said, I also hear good thing about Lapua brass. Which brass out of the two do you prefer to use and why? Thanks, 47

I chose the 200 gr Accubond for the high BC 588. Does anyone have any good loads they use for 30-06? Thanks in advance, 47
