I don't know if I was impressed or disappointed that it took 8 pages before even sniffing a pi$$ing match !
I went back to pages 8 and 9 and didn't even smell the faint aroma of a pizzing match. A lot of good comments about the 30-06. Did those turn you off?

You mentioned 400 yards as your limit for shooting an elk..............at that range, even to 600 yards, you absolutely do not need a "high BC" round, whatever that term means to you.
270, 280, 'o6, 308, 7-08 are perfect at that range with good bullets that have more than sufficient BC................you will realize real BC gains only past 600 yards or so with, the "high BC" rounds.
Probably more elk have been killed by a 270 & 'o6 than all else put together' I've killed more with a 270 than anything else to ranges a little over 500 yards.
JME, YMMV

Great post.
Just being cheeky bsa, I am always pleased whenever we have good camaraderie- like a campfire is supposed to be. So I was impressed- not disappointed we got through 8 whole pages.
