The rifle...Model 70 (FN made) 30-06 Ultimate Shadow...still wearing the factory stock for now...a genuine 600 yard rifle, skinny barrel and all.
168 grain Ballistic Tip, 58 grains H4350...chrono'd at 2,850 fps...I pulled one out a bit, but you get the idea...this group is .5 MOA, if I had not pulled that one out it would be just like always, which is .3 MOA...this load shoots great in 5 different rifles that I know of, but is not so great in a 22" barrel for some reason (I'm guessing harmonics)
175 grain Berger Hunting VLD, 58.5 grains of H4350...chrono'd at 2,775 fps...loaded to kiss the lands, appx. OAL is 3.36" in my rifle...they feed fine at that length...this group is .442" MOA.
165 grain Nosler Accubond, 58 grains H4350...appx. 2,900 fps, not chrono'd..I expected better from these bullets.
150 grain Hornady SST, 58.5 grains H4350...not chrono'd...just a few strays I had laying around, i don't use these bullets.
