30-06 and N555

This afternoon being too wet to do anything else , I dug out the 30-06. I decided to try out the 220gr RN bullets I got and some 180gr AB Grade C. Input my data into QL for some baseline with N555 and went from there. My Winchester brass is a little large on internal capacity making N555 ideal to work with.

Both top charges do have a slight swipe. The velocity on the 180gr AB was more than I was expecting. These 2 will go on the list for accuracy testing on my summer vacation. I will focus on 2600fps with the 220s and 2850fps with the 180s.
Those red tipped black AB do get the cool factor.

Nice. Both loads have some pretty good speed!

Looks like a good start. Vihtavouri powders seem like really good stuff. if you can get those speeds safely that's pushing on the lower end of 300 WSM performance. In my last 30-06 I tried RL 22 with the 220 gr Partition and got 2550 fps, this is definitely a step up in performance. If you can get 2850 fps safely with the 180's that's pretty amazing.
