[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 898953, member: 55580"] You would be much better off using a true hunting bullet than the bullet you currently have chosen. With a 30-06 I would probably recommend the Accubond or Accubond Long Range. Truthfully the ABLR would be a great fit for the 30-06 because of the slower muzzle velocity. Bergers could work, but seeing as you want to use a heavy-for-caliber bullet with them, it might not be the best choice, expecially if you might encounter those 40 yard shots. Choose a heavier bullet in the 180-200 grain range and go from there. As far as the effective range, you can definitely shoot the 30-06 effectively on elk out past 500 yards. There are a lot of guidelines you can follow to determine exactly how far based on energy remaining or velocity, but that is up to you. I am sure some of the big 30-06 users will jump in shortly (I have one, but don't use it a bunch), but figured I would throw in my two cents. [/QUOTE]
