[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1501312, member: 95344"] Used to be I setup my 06 for 400 yards max. With today's new high BC bullets pretty much what others have said, 600 yards. With one possible exception, using the 185gr Berger Classic Hunter I saw one load that might have a velocity of 2850 fps. I'm not going to say the load because as the other 30-06 loaders are thinking "that's very hot!". Yeah I think it's way too hot too. But if it does pan out at my altitude that's good to 750 yards! All I have to do is zero at 200 yards and I can use my 2.5x8X VariXIII with Premier Mildot reticle out to 750 without touching the dials. For me even out to 600 yards it's a fine tool. [/QUOTE]
