Reason im asking. Accura outdoors claims their .308 bullets can be loaded up to 3000 FPS in a 1/10 twist rate barrel. Both of my 30.06 are 1/10.
Im thinking of loading a few with 30 grains of 2400. The bullets are 120 grain. Shoot at cardboard 25 yards.

If your goal is 3000fps in a 30.06 using essentially a pistol powder, I’d tread very carefully.Im thinking of loading a few with 30 grains of 2400. The bullets are 120 grain. Shoot at cardboard 25 yards.
The only 120gr. .308" bullet they list is for the .300BLKhttps://accuraoutdoors.com/faq/
for the 30cal 120gr 2000FPS 1:8/1:7 3000FPS 1:10
been there, wet mud behind outdoor range. I was only shooter. Just stood there thinking about the multiple splashes. Went home .Kinetic hammer next day.In handguns, I know I've overdone things when the target gets hit by shrapnel.
That's not good. RMR, MBC, GT Bullets, Quality Cast, Hunter's, Reeds... everyone I buy bullets from except Grizzly (Cast Performance) has typically responded in 24 hours or less to a question about max velocity or safe use. Grizzly I can kind of understand since that's not exactly their main thing but cast bullets isn't Reeds main thing either and they responded in an hour when I asked about their "Penetrator" .357" cast bullets. BTW: NO they are NOT intended for light, thin-skinned game!Im still waiting to hear back from Accura.
These are bullets where the plating has failed.
Excellent! IMR 4895 and IMR 4064 seem to be back in availability if you'd prefer to use a slower powder and try for that 3Kfps mark. I don't think 2400 will get you there. Might but I doubt it.I heard back from them. They are good for any .308 with a 1/10 twist. He said he did his testing with a .308 rifle. 30.06 will be fine too.
