My daughter carried my sons cz527 in 76239 one year. We were hunting area where shots Could be 20-150 yards. I had no problem using that in that close proximity As it has ballistic of 30/30.
Your blackout has “muzzle” velocity of 30/06 at 500 or 600? yards with 165 grain pill. which most consider that a stretch for the ol 06..
I’m sure it will work in right situation, Elk aren’t bullet proof, but in hunting things don’t always go as planned.


All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
