[QUOTE="Rooks, post: 2129024, member: 113765"] My first precision rifle is chambered for 30-06. I grew up hunting with it that cartridge, it’s easy to load and it felt like a safe choice. My gun wears a 24” Shilen barrel with PA M41 muzzle brake. My preferred loads for the gun are similar, Berger 185 Juggernauts and Hybrids over appropriate powder charges of H4350 in Hornady brass and a CCI BR2 primer give 2820fps and 2805fps respectively and routinely and almost invariably produce half and sub half MOA 5 shot groups to 600 yards. Occasionally I have the opportunity to shoot as far as 1135 yards depending on the rotation of the cattle heard on the property and have been able to achieve similar results at those ranges, atmospheric variables and lack of seat time limit me there. Suffice it to say, the 30-06 is capable. The good folks producing the Mark and Sam after work YouTube channel are proof of that! He has illustrated its capability at distances in excess of 2800 yards. Load well, sweat the details, and enjoy! [/QUOTE]
