[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 848180, member: 11717"] Options to consider. If you use RL17, there is a good chance you can boost your velocities up by 200 fps in the 06. whether or not your rifle likes and shoots it well is another story. But something to think about. With the Nosler 210 ABLR you could get farther than 800 for bullet expansion which they advertise to be 1300 fps. Let's say you can get 2750 with RL17 and 210 ABLR. At 850 yards you have 1670 fps velocity. That is plenty for that bullet to kill a deer. I think the 06 is quite capable of pushing that bullet to that velocity with RL17. We have a member who has pushed the 208 Amax to 2750 in a 308 with RL17. Buy a 300 WM? The best option IMO. Once you start getting past 600 yd shooting you are much better off with a long range type platform which includes a heavy barrel and good stock. I would recommend a Sendero. Load it up with some 215 Hybrids and H1000 and you have a LR killing machine. The 300 WSM can be loaded with RL17 to match most 300 WM loads but I would not buy a factory rifle chambered in it because it will be a short action. A long action is the way to go for long high BC bullets in that cartridge. [/QUOTE]
