This is for a Mark X, 24" barrel 30-06 ( 10" twist) looking for 64K pressure limit, Or enough to get 2350-2400 fps range? Especially interested in some of the newer powders, i.e. R16, etc. I used 50.5/IMR 4350/240w in some other 24" '06 rifles for an honest 2400fps. . Thanks
QL data for 30-06 240gr Woodleigh?

Bears and hogs or elk in the timber?
- Thread starter
- #4
Elk in timber ( big snow/nasty weather rifle) and big hogs (Texas) up close. Should be a good thumper! Between it and the Nosler 200PT, I can't foresee anything I would ever need ( or get more use out of) another 35 Whelen ( or AI) Only bears we have are Black Bear, so no Brownies or Moose right now, ha. Thanks guys.

That would be in the 50-54K PSI class with the above 2500-2600 current loads
- Thread starter
- #7
Way back in the 80s, I played with the Sierra 200 SBT from an old 1917 Sporter cut back to 24". That old rifle would shoot! I used the Max load in the Sierra manual, if I remember right it was 54gr IMR 4350. Later on, when I moved to Utah, I also played with it from a 30-06 AI 26" Shilen #3, but I could not get the accuracy I wanted past 2700fps. However, I could hit out to 400yds using the Ballistic Plex Burris 3x9 hashmarks (once I had it initially zeroed right). I took it on a cow elk hunt, but they did not cooperate. That rifle/action got converted to 300 RUM/ 200 AB for my Marine SILs return from the sandbox. I fell back to 200 Partition (60gr R22) for any 30-06 I've had ( I like to find a good load on each end of the spectrum, light/heavy) and shot alot of the Woodleigh 240 , on paper. I am always "tempted" to have another 35 Whelen AI made up, but then I ask "why"? ha Been there, done that, no more African hunts for me, and I did shoot a big Eurasian hog with my last 35 WAI/310 Woodleigh. So scratched that itch, ha.
