[QUOTE="375fan, post: 463999, member: 24835"] rdsii44, How long is your barrel? If 24" you should be able to get the 200gr to 2600fps. My longest big game shot/kill was 446 yards( yes, a chip shot for most of the guys here) 165gr A-Frame at 2850fps. Cow elk broadside,standing still,zero wind,on a bipod with good rest, really knew the trajectory for that load, and I have/do shoot that rifle (has 22 7/8 in barrel) quite a bit. It is because of that situation that I went to a 300wm with 25in barrel. The 06 with the load you want will do the job. My advice: practice a lot and get to know the drop for your load.
