[QUOTE="CA48, post: 2025920, member: 21446"] Yes when you have an 06 set up for long range it can do very well running 215 bergers at 2800. Still has great ballistics to 1000 yards with plenty of energy. For plinking it would make a good cheaper ELR round. I take much lesser cartridges plinking past a 1000 yards often. You stated you will be using factory ammo, Hornady 178 ELD-X comes to mind. Around 600 yards is the farthest you will be able to make consistent cold bore shots in a hunting situation depending on your set up. Using a lightweight factory rifle with a cheap plastic stock your better off sticking to 400 or 500 hunting. [/QUOTE]
