I have been looking and lusting over new rifles and new cartridges. Every time I look at ballistics and manageable distances (400 yds which is what I would limit myself to.) the common calibers seem to be just as effective. The question I pose is should I stick with a tried and true classic 30/06, 270, 7mm mag? Or a new chambering in one of the high B.C. Offerings?
There's no difference to 400yds, is there? Imagine an old 200gr Nosler Partition or even an 220gr Hornady roundnose hitting an elk at 400yds. Those have been around for a long long time but I'd wager they'd slam dunk an elk really well. I'm sure someone here has taken larger game with the awesome 30-06.
