If you find someone with an 22 inch barrel 06, shoot it at night. You will see just how much burn your have outside the barrel.
good call, one of my 308's has a 22 inch barrel fired at night the fireball is about a foot loot long and a foot in diameter. my 30-06 which has a 24 inch barrel has fireball about 6 inches long and 6 inches in diameter.
you might say "owe but they probably have different powders" which is not the case in the 308 I used a 165 grain sierra BTHP gameking with 46 grains varget and in the 30-06 load I used a 180 grain NP with 47 grains varget.
