[QUOTE="long450, post: 779245, member: 8426"] If you are considering those ranges, you need good accuracy. I think you only need something to shoot 1 moa for elk at that range, but I prefer 1/2 moa to eliminate as much error as possible. I suggest you try the AMAX to see how it shoots. I have used them with good success in lighter weights, but nothing over 200 yards and on deer they worked fine. Others to consider are Berger hunting bullets, Accubonds, and SMK. I have had good performance from the first two on deer to 486 yards. I have shot deer with the SMK's at 736, 745, and 1003 yards. Last elk I shot was at 60 yards with a Barnes bullet. I have not used the 3006, but used 308, 7mm WSM, and 338 Lapua. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
