This may be a dumb question, but if both bullets are 168gr, can I use the same powder and volume safely? You guys using the 30-06 for a target rifle: There is a guy that posts on snipersparadise.com that has used a 30-06 for his 1000 yard rifle for a long time. You must log in or register to reply here.
Many folks put way too much stock into chronograph data; it is not as reliable as supposed... sky screen units are worse, but we also have a Magneto-speed which we saw blunder the other day.

I would think getting a little smaller would get a little more velocity which would be better for long distance....what am I misssing? Any help is appreciated.
People have tried (including me) to duplicate their load/powder wise and nobody seems to know their formula. 0000001118 00000 n
HPBT MatchKing 155 gr. Same exact load= 168 smk w/ 46 gr Varget.
0000003447 00000 n I'd let the targets at long range tell you how tight the velocities are. In recent months, Sierra has unveiled four very serious, ultra-high-BC MatchKing bullets in .224, .264 (6.5 mm), and .308 calibers. That's a good bullet, too, BTW. 0000010314 00000 n

In the days before the 175 gr. Your rifle may not like it. of RL 15 is excellent in both of my 06 Sako 75's. HPBT MatchKing 220 gr. I am relatively new to loading, I have a .308 and to get started and to be easy, I duplicated the 168gr federal gold medal match ammo with the 168gr Sierra MK bullets, which is 42.8gr of IMR 4064. The major advantage of adding a tip to the bullet is the reduction of drag, producing a more favorable ballistic coefficient.

But I'd stay with the 42.7 if it's giving you enough speed to reach your goals. 0000005396 00000 n 0000010292 00000 n Thanks. S00000, 190's seem to be the ticket for a 30-06 then?
