There ya go!

Learning strikes again. LOL!

I'd bet that you're getting about 2600 or 2700 fps from that rifle. Factory ammo for the '06 has been dialed down a bit over the past few years in deference to the indisputable fact that there are now .30-06 rifles out there that are a century old.

(Anybody realize that this is the 100th anniversary of the grand old round?)

That being the case, the SAAMI officials have lowered the maximum allowable pressure of factory .3-06 ammo, so even those old rifles will still be safe to shoot.

For rifles made today, reloading is the way to spruce up the '06.
