Here is the story. I went out west for the first time this year and got a 6x6 bull at 405 yds with a 30/06. I realized I wasn't prepared for shooting at such long distance. I plan on going back and want to be prepared. I'm going to get a 300 win mag (unless someone convinces me something is better) and I want to scope it with some type of ballistic plex system. What's a reliable, simple to use scope for this purpose. With the set up I had I aimed 20" over the elks back and clipped the spine. I think luck was involved.
The '06 will work just fine.
Read 'Stick's posts on turrets, and follow the logic there.
A scope with good turrets, a rangefinder, a drop chart, and range time are what you need.
