[QUOTE="Dirty Steve, post: 898955, member: 6896"] I have not shot one past 500 yards, but have dumped an average 5x5 bull at 426 yards using a 180 grain Federal Premium Nosler Partition from an '06. My personal opinion is that an '06 is adequate, with premium bullets and proper shot placement to probably 600 yards. Energy at 500 should be in the 1400 pound range, maybe down to 1300 at 600. Your mileage may vary. I do not believe it would have adequate energy beyond 600 for elk, but could be proven wrong. Dirty Steve [/QUOTE]
