[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1956939, member: 9299"] For decades, I have used a couple of 30-06's with long throats that allow heavier bullets to be seated long and allow for maximum usage of the cases' powder capacity. These have allowed me to push 165g bullets safely above 3,000+fps and 180g's at 2,900 or so. A 180g NAB or Berger @ 2,900fps is no weak load. For decades, I was never a magnum fan, so not knowing I shouldn't(?), I took several game animals past 700 yards and competed in 1,000 yard games with a 30-06. And that was before today's higher BC bullets designed for such things. The 30-06 works, so the rest is up to the shooter. [/QUOTE]
