[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 611332, member: 14209"] I took a Cow Elk this last fall at 525yds with a .30-06AI using a 168g Berger VLD. (Loaded to 3100 FPS.) She didn't know what hit her. That being said, I know it was a Ackley Improved version and it does have a 26" tube, but I think that a .30-06 Springfield could absolutely do the same thing properly loaded and bullet placed in the vitals. I'm actually switching to a 190g VLD this fall, The drops are more, but every bit as consistant as the 168g VLDs and the velocity is at 2900fps. It hits with more authority and with actually extends the effective killing range of the cartridge by about 200yds. I'd not hesitate to shoot a Muley at 1000yds with this rifle, however a Elk... I'd have to think about that. Dan [/QUOTE]
