[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1203647, member: 7999"] I would not recommend a 215g bullet in an 06. I have run the numbers and the effective hunting range using 1800fps as the floor, they have nearly an identical range of 600 yards compared to 165g bullet. The 165g bullet will have a longer point blank range than the heavy slow bullet. I used 2500fps for the 215g and 2900fps for the 165g bullet. The other thing that is noteworthy is the 215g bullet from a 10" twist barrel at 3000ft elevation at a temp of 25* will be under stabilized losing some of the bc and be detrimental to terminal performance. Lower the elevation or the temp and this gets significantly worse. I think that the 180g bullets are as big as the 06 runs well with. But think it shines most with 165g. Recoil is much nicer with the 165's too. Steve [/QUOTE]
