[QUOTE="jkupper, post: 868969, member: 61637"] I shoot partitions out of my 30-06. I like the high shoulder shot, or shooting them in the ribs. If I'm worried about the deer running off a ways in rough terrain I go shoulder. If it doesn't matter I shoot ribs. I have killed deer past 400 yards with my 06 with either shot. I usually try to wait for the deer to get broadside when it is over 250 yards, so no frontal shots past there for me. Maybe someone who shoots Bergers or some other frangible bullet out of their 06 can chime in on shoulder shots out to 500 yards. I would be interested to hear as well because I have started shooting the 168 gr VLD's in my 06 in addition to the partitions. [/QUOTE]
