    30-06 reloads seem too fast.

    I got my magnetospeed and put it to use this weekend. I took two shots with the load in question and it registered 2887 and 2896 FPS. That still seems fast for 165 grain bullet out of a 20” 30-06 barrel. The day before the magnetospeed arrived, I went to the range. After a five shot group...
