[QUOTE="Stammster, post: 2062693, member: 114381"] IMO 200’s are a bit long and slow in 30-06. You’ll need to seat them deep in order to stay under mag length, and loose case capacity. A 165 (and possibly 180gr) would be a better choice for deer at the ranges you have stated. I’ve loaded up some 180 partitions over RL26, with a goal of 2850 -2900 fps - but haven’t shot them yet. More of an elk load than deer. For deer, I’ve shot all types of 150-165 gr successfully at sub 250 yards for 35+ years. Shot an elk last year with a 165 SST at 400 yds with a 1 shot kill. [/QUOTE]
