If you asked about shotguns and somebody recommended a rifle so you don't "mess around with an obsolete design" I don't think you'd qualify that as being very useful.



.30-06, 150 Sierra Spitzer, 57 grains HP-100 = 2,986 FPS out of a 24" barrel

.308 Winchester, 150 Sierra BT, 47 grains of H-335 = 2,912 FPS out of 24" barrel (noted as being at maximum safe threshold)

Fastest loads I found in Pet Loads (which is next to the computer)



I know, no need to thank me though.

With what degree of certainty are you making that judgment?


WOW!! 75 feet/second!! That's a 0.003% difference!!! You've proved one thing: you're able to read (or at least access) one single load manual!!! FAR OUT!!!!

Again, from the very depths of my heart, thank you. You are fast becoming my hero, a perfect horse's ass.

I'll put in another recommendation for the Ruger semi carbine.
