[QUOTE="M Poling, post: 2261508, member: 110673"] Hey there, I also love my 338-06 (standard) I've killed so many elk, deer antelope etc, I can't even count. I started with the 225 Acubond (they go about 2740 fps) but they struggled with keyhole after 1300 to 1400 yards. I soon found 265 ABLR (AcuBond Long Range) to be my absolute favorite (at 2540 using 58.5 gr. Winchester 760) I know I'm pushed these a little hard and have absolute max OAL. But I have had good success out to 2450 yards (only limited by my scope). I can't speak highly enough of this setup. Definitely a capable and hard hitting round at some impressive distances. Maybe someday I'll switch over to a Ackley Improved barrel for a little bit more fun. I am using a 24" barrel and a suppressor which adds 50 to 75 fps in my experience. Call it what you like, but I would definitely call this a capable long range setup. *Don't use my load data, do your own research, every rifle is a little different. Also I would shoot at animals with an impact velocity of less than 1300 fps (according to nosler and my own experience/testing) [/QUOTE]
