[QUOTE="Hoppsing55, post: 2653740, member: 91210"] 1) How far do you want to reach out? ( Be realistic. There is quite a bit involved in "reaching out" for a humane kill.) A 30-06 with the correct load can still have 1250-1300 ft-lbs of energy at 600+ yds. Put a good quality expanding hunting bullet in to the lung - heart of your target and it will die rather quickly. A super dooper magnum, shot into a hind quarter makes for a long and painful day. For both the hunter and hunted! 2) Are you proficient at delivering a projectile to a 6" circle at 600yds? ( Consider the exterior ballsitics,,, wind & terrain, shooting angle, body position - stability,,,??) 3) You stated that you are "new" to anything long range. You might consider learning to walk before you run. A 30-06, 308 win, 7mm-08,,,,and others, are all effective hunting tools, used for the correct situation and chosen game. Long barrel life, manageable recoil, readily available ammunition,,, and the list goes on. Good luck and good shooting. [/QUOTE]
