I recently purchased a limited production 30-06 BAR mk3 carbine 18.5 in. barrel for elk hunting mostly. There is not a lot of information on this length barrel and I'm kind of curious what to expect as far as effective hunting range and basically everything about it? My thought is 250 probably in a pinch for range? However I'm not too concerned about range as I have other rifles for that work and plan on using for thick stuff. My thought was to use 180gr bullets but this is were I'd really like some help. What would be more advantage for this shorter barrel heavy or lighter bullets? Should I go to 200 or 220 gr since my range will be shorter any how? Thanks holler at me if you got any info. I'm in the limbo waiting for my online purchase to arrive.
