[QUOTE="NEMTHunter, post: 1553337, member: 77631"] Not even 30 yet and all my big game and yotes have all been shot with a 30-06 other then maybe 4 yotes. Deer and elk have all been shot with a 30-06. I bought my first 30-06 one when I was 14. Its a very good all around cartridge. For me and my 28" barrel throated long I can get 2800 fps out of the 215 Berger with IMR4350 And 2850 with RL26 and the 215 Berger. So I feel safe in saying my 06 can hang well past 500 yards on game even elk. Infact that puts me in the neighbor hood of 900 yards if I am looking to keep it above 1800fps on impact @30 degrees. Still going above 1600 @ 1100 Yards and above 1000FTLB @1250 yards. Some say thats the lowest you should go on deer sized game. BUT That is FPS and bullet depending. Its still right @ 1474 fps @ 1250. Plenty good for yotes though. I understand not all 30-06 can or will do this. Mine was built for this purpose. But cant help but think with the long throat what would it do chambered in 300 win mag. [/QUOTE]
