cptmclark, for fun, I went to the NECO Internal Ballistic Program and plugged in the following variables:

165 gr. Sierra BT
61.0 grs. of IMR 4350
24 inch barrel
30-06 Springfield

Results:

Predicted muzzle velocity = 3007 fps.
Predicted max. pressure = 63,286 psi.

Amazing. This happens over-over-over with this program.

Conclusion: That's a very nice maximum load for the 30-06!
