[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1495844, member: 78762"] I have a lot of time shooting the 30–06. It was my first cartridge that got me into shooting long range. I used to shove heavy 208s and 215s thru it with RL17 and got impressive results. I recently went back to the 178 class of bullets. Mainly because I have several other rifles capable of shooting high BC bullets “better” by better I mean, they shoot them faster, and are able to utilize the weight and BC more effectively/efficiently. I will always have a 30-06, but I don’t shoot it as much anymore. For long range steel out to 1200 yards, I say yes, load it with a 208 and have at it. For long range hunting past 6-700 yards, just buy a win mag. It’s usually the same price, in the same platform. The win mag will be flatter shooting across all ranges the 30-06 would be considered as a choice. Flatter shooting, more energy and less time of flight are very important factors when I have a mammal in the cross hairs, steel plate not so much... [/QUOTE]
