When I first started reloading for my first 2 rifles a Browning Safari grade in 30.06 and a Weatherby Mark V in 240 Wby mag back in 1983 it was a huge surprise when the loads were finally chronograph. The 30.06 150 gr factory rounds went right at 2700 fps and 2830 is all I could get out of a very stiff load with imr 4350 powder. Factory usually claims 2910 from the 150 gr. I thought I was getting easily over 3000 fps until chronograped. The 240 Weatherby would get the claimed velocity but was brutal in barrel heating up while summertime prairie dog shooting.</p></blockquote><p></p>
