[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 972636, member: 10391"] 800 yards is a real stretch for the 06 for elk even with the best long range bullets. I use a 30-06 for elk with the 190gr Berger at 2705fps (sweet spot) and that gets me out to about 650 yards using the 1800fps and 1500 ft lbs of energy as a guideline. The longest elk taken with this load was 522yards. Been fooling with the 215gr Berger as I'm building a 300 WM, and have a bunch on hand, in the 06 and according to QuickLoad with a velocity of around 2600fps can reach out to around 850 yards using the guideline above. Shot through the chronograph a week ago 80 degrees and was getting 2625fps at the max load. Have not done any testing so don't know where the accuracy lies. Using RL17 Lapua brass and Fed 210 primers in the 06. [/QUOTE]
