[QUOTE="CCAguns, post: 2702767, member: 15399"] With Hornady’s Superperformance 150gr factory ammo my 22” 30-06 gets 3050fps. My handloads for the ‘06 easily exceed that of the .308 Winny when loaded to comparable pressure. The argument that the 308 outperforms the 06 only works when comparing 308 to lower pressured factory rounds in the 06. Credibility is lost when claims such as these are made. I hunt elk with my 340 Weatherby and have not yet failed to find the animal I shot. As has been stated, any 30 cal with a properly placed bullet of good construction can kill elk at a reasonable distance for the cartridge in question. If I had to shoot elk at 900 yards, I’d want much more power than the OP suggests. As an ethical hunter, I’d definitely want to get closer. [/QUOTE]
