30" 30.06?
I've never seen a 30" .06 before. Most come in 22-24" barrels, a few custom makers use 25" tubes, and an old Mauser had a 26" barrel. But I've never seen a 30". Will you have to use a very slow powder for optimum velocity?
Yeah, I forsee some velocity loss in that long of a barrel. Optimal length on 30.06 is 24" This gives you the best velocity and sight picture.
