[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1434491, member: 30671"] A 210, from a .30-06 will make an 800 yard elk shot. Some of the other factors that will come into play. OAL, you'll probably have to choose single loading, or losing powder capacity by staying magazine length. Terminal velocity of the Bergers from your current 168 to the 210 is roughly 1600 fps. Granted more energy with the heavier bullet, but bullet performance will be pretty comparable. Give the 210 more penetration, but generally speaking most long range shots aren't tough angles. Recoil goes to the 168 load. Given the history you provided I'd stay with what you're doing. [/QUOTE]
