[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2133670, member: 115658"] I know these folks that have hunted all over the planet and they always included a .30-06 with their assortment of rifles that at times included a .416 Rigby, .300 WM, .375 H&H and .270. Looking at their photo's and stuffed trophies I saw that the .30-06 killed many big animals. I also learned that none of the animals were shot at ranges over 400 yards most at under 300. My favorite .30-06 load is a good 165-168 grain bullet with H4350. To me punching a bullet thru the lung/heart area of an animal with a broadside shot is ideal but often circumstances don't allow that. My self imposed limit for deers & such is 400 yards. Beyond that the trajectory rapidly become more curved - like a 15 inch correction at 400 can be increased to over 3 feet at 500 . TOF is increased as to cause a miss when the target moves a foot or so. The bullet needs adequate velocity to perform as designed. [/QUOTE]
