[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 867181, member: 11717"] You'll get a lot of different opinions, but yes a 30-06 will do just fine to well past 500 yds with the right load. My first choice of bullet would be a 215 Berger Hybrid and powder would be RL17. Perfect combo in the .06 IMO. 17 can be a little sensitive to temp but it will mean nothing inside of 600 yds. Of course, "your" rifle may or may not like that combo. Broz has had a lot of success with the 215 hybrid [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/comparing-berger-210-vld-215-hybrid-88657/[/url] If you use the 215, you will want a minimum of 1800 fps impact velocity and maybe a little more for insurance. That would be your max range other than accuracy restrictions. They work best in the boiler room but will do OK with a shoulder shot. [/QUOTE]
