[QUOTE="roninflag, post: 428682, member: 5691"] moose- i shoot competively out to 1000 yards. one year i shot 2000 rounds of 30-06. besides targets i have shot a quite a few elk and deer too. i have several remington 700s sporter weight. they are easy to carry for hunting. for longer shots i use a sendero in a magnum. and 6.5-20 scope. for longer shots on elk and bear a big round like a 300 wm at least. the 300 wm i have found is a very forgiving cartridge to load for too. the last two elk i shot with a a 30-06 were 11 and 26 yards. for the long shots of 500 yards+ the scope, rifle and ammo combo needs to be really really good. originally i thought you wanted to see what your 30-06 would do by loading some vld's . your "do all" round for 500 yard shots on elk and bear : get a sendero in a magnum round , a really GOOD SCOPE, and practice.
