I took my mule deer at 550 last year with my Win model 70 30-06. The next day I took a 6x6 idaho bull at 540 with the same gun. I was shooting factory hornady precision hunter ammo. Thats a 178 grain ELDX and it killed both with 1 shot. I'm going to hand load berger 215s and give her a go. The 30-06 has plenty of life for decent range. I would imagine I could take an elk at 700 ish with the bergers, and if I do my part.
