[QUOTE="long ranger, post: 2680, member: 800"] I have been using a 30-06 since out at the 1000 yard mark for over 25 years with great success on everything that walks the continent. Many moose any several bears will attest to this. I have found that 180 grain bullets seem to work better in this cartridge than the 165s at longer ranges. True they will drop a bit more but this can be compensated for . The big gain is in the residual kinetic energy. Pretty much across the board you will find a higher ballistic coefficient with 180s along with a higher sectional density.As with all long shots bullet placement is the key but having that little bit more retained energy helps too.
