[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2280516, member: 60453"] I've never had one of those, but I think it must be like putting the 25-06 on steroids. I don't know why they brought out the other .264 on steroids cartridges when all they had to do was adopt the 6.5-06. I like the 30-06 in my Ruger M77MkII or my 03-a3, or my .35 Whelen Remington 700 CDL (using the Sierra 225 grain GK bullet). All three have 3 to 10 Shepherd P2 scopes on them and are good to 500 yards, though I don't like to take shots beyond about 400 yards normally. The .35 still makes enormous exit wounds at 500+ yards. Past 400 yards or so the -06 bullet doesn't expand well enough for me, but the .35 cal. Sierra GK still does just fine. I'd like to play with a 338-06 Ackley-improved, though. [/QUOTE]
