That is decent velocity and accuracy, that would make a great load for anything in NA.

I have my m70 Alaskan in 30-06 running at 2685 fps with 200gr speer hotcor and 55 grs of imr 4350. Shoots MOA with a straight 6x power. I'm sure I can bump the velocity up with Re17 but feel content with old standard powder.
Hmmm . . .
barrel would point south with one of them in it... its alot of lead for a 06 lol

I have had great results with Norma brass.
I can get more powder in the Norma brass than Lapua brass, I use a drop tube to get more powder in the case.
Results with H1000 or RL26 combined with the 230gr Berger, 230gr A-tip ,250 A-Tip, have been outstanding.
I have stabilized the 250gr A-Tip with a 1:9 twist but I have to push them fast , with a 1:10 the 230gr's have done great.
Chambering a 1:8.5" twist blank for the 250gr A-Tip would be the next idea.
Seating .020" to the lands has been excellent.

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
