[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 532166, member: 28854"] I don't have the stats for the 30-06 180 grainers, but the 165 grain Interbond Factory ammo drops 46.2" at 500 yards with a 200 yard zero and has dropped to a velocity of 1870fps and is down to 1281 ft./lbs. of energy at that distance. I'm of the old school that it's best to have 1500 ft./lbs of energy on a bull elk at POI and that's why I made that statement, not the fact that he can't be hit at that distance. I think most guides and outfitters would not want a person shooting at a bull that far with a 30-06 and would want them using a heavier caliber for a little bit better insurance that bull won't be lost on that long of a shot.
