[QUOTE="Mac11700, post: 340727, member: 1693"] I define LRH at 500 yards or greater..While I do know their are faster cartridges available for doing this type of hunting..I am mainly interested in maximizing the capabilities of the 30-06..and not any of the magnums..I need a load that will perform admirable from up close to my comfort zone of 600-700 yards..I am full aware of how the wind can effect a bullets accuracy and that is the reason I am seeking out those who use this cartridge at those yardages..and their preference in bullets/loads...and their performance on the game I intend to hunt.With as long as this round has been around..I figure many have used it in the past and or still today... in the present. Magnums do offer more at those extended ranges..but..I have no interest in them at the present. I have varied hunting terrain here in Missouri..and depending on the wind..can have shots as close as 100..and as far as 700 yards..on the same days hunt.When I get to hunt elsewhere for Mulies and elk..I intend on still using the 30-06..provided I can find a suitable load that will give me the performance on the game I am looking for and is accurate enough to ensure that if I do my part..a humane kill.. Thank You for your data..I will try it and see how well it does.. Mac [/QUOTE]
