You do you, man. A lot of deer shot with the .308 so if you want to run your 06 at 308 velocities you’ll pile up deer just fine. Probably a great load to practice with too. If you run out of 4350 look into RL26. I’m getting 2960fps from a 22” barreled Model 70 in ‘06 using RL26 and magnum primers behind a 180gr Partition. I’m not the only one, either. Only thing I’m waiting on is to see brass life with this load. I’m up to 4 firings and pockets are still tight.
