[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1496021, member: 30902"] Pretty far down the list as modern cartridges simply outperform it in every way. Yes, you can get to 1,000yds with it but it's like launching mortars compared to the .300wm, Rum, or other big case .30's. It will always have a place with average hunters especially those limited to 400yds or less. Long story greatly shortened. In the early seventies my dad drew his first Elk Tag in CO and his best friend talked him into a brand new 700bdl 7RM and a new Bushnell range compensating variable scope. The hunt went miserably, the first chance he got on an elk the scope had fogged up and the action frozen. This was day one after they'd packed in by horse/foot for two days to the hunting area. Four days later after a completely miserable hunt on the way out he pulls out "Old Grampa" his thirty year old 760 pump 30-06 equipped with the same old Weaver 4x that came new with the package and killed a monster 5x5 with a single shot at nearly 500yds. It was the longest shot of his life. [/QUOTE]
