[QUOTE="Frank in the Laurels, post: 1171662, member: 8845"] Hitting and Killing are somewhat very different things in hunting circles... The 180-200 grain Bergers driven as fast as safe will easily hit an elk at 1000 with the right scope, weather conditions etc but unless you break it's backbone it will live awhile until the lungs collapse or heart stops. With a muzzle velocity around 2700 fps there should be more than enough velocity left at 1000 but I'd feel more comfortable at 800 or less. You just don't see many custom cut chambers done in the old warhorse /06... I wonder what a gunsmith face would look like when you mention you want a /06 chamber...bet he wouldn't even have a great reamer ready. One things for sure BRASS will forever be available because when you can't find it reloading as we all know it is over !!! [/QUOTE]
