I have been shooting and hunting with an '06 for a little over 20yrs. Of course I have enjoyed using other cartridges prior to and during this time, but for most of my needs I have found the 30-06 to be adequate.
I have been getting into 'long range' the last few years and have found the right bullet can make all the difference past 600yd or so.
Currently I favor the Berger 215gr hybrid at ~2700fps. It's easily good to 1000 on targets and depending on atmospherics, it should do a fine job on game out to ~800yd.
Hornaday 208gr eldm is another good choice.
