[QUOTE="theodore, post: 292240, member: 15578"] A 30-06 will most definitely work on elk up to 600 yards with the right bullet and personally I go with the 168 ballistic tips for that gun for hunting. For 1000 yard target shooting, I really like the hornady A-max. Again a 168gr, heavier bullets will tend to become unstabled due to twist rate. (A-max penetration on game isn't so consistentent which results in wounded animals so mixed reviews on them for hunting is common) 2000fps is a good rule of thumb for minimum impact velocity. Check out a public ballistic calculator from best of the west or jbm. Its easy to use, just enter bullet type, velocity and altitude as a start for load comparison. [/QUOTE]
