I no longer go crazy like I used to and I was younger. I'm not talking about prairie dog coyotes and steel but actual big game. Ernie I'm thinking 500 yards the most I think it should be fine about tht distance, but you know anal is anal LOL
I know I'm probably overthinking this but I usually do with everything. Just worried about jacket Core separation even though I most of the time that it does occur ....both are found together after the work is done.
I had a friend of mine shoot an antelope 150 yards away. He used a 99 Savage...
Ramshot Grand will also yield higher velocities and it's burn rate is very similar to RL 26.
Now on the other hand if I were to tote around a 26" tube it would not be in a 30-06 or 30-06 AI chambering. 300 win and up for me.
