[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1566548, member: 30671"] ....I was kinda looking at the 199 sledgehammer. Just seems cool shooting a big bullet out of the .30-06 haha....... A good bullet. I started hunting with a .30-06 and 220 grain bullets, and have used a variety of 200 grain+ bullets since. Very effective within their limits. Probably better 200 yards and under, but could be used to 300. Both the .30-40 Krag, and .30-06 originally came with 220 grain bullets. I have them on the bench, but haven't made it to the range with them. I expect to get 2500-2600 fps without too much effort. Currently using a Ruger #1, so no magazine worries. Other bullets of comparable length are used regularly in .30-06 magazines. It's just a factor to be aware of going in. Go for it if it's what you want. [/QUOTE]
