I’m no long range shooter expert by any means but I did stay at holiday inn.
in all seriousness. And this just from my limited knowledge
If you’re shooting those guns with those scopes under an inch at 100, but you’re 2 moa+ at 500. It’s probably your technique.
My cheap tc venture in 270, with VX2 3-9x40 CDS can hit 8” gong at 600 consistently with cheap 140 SST bullets.. Past that my groups start to open up. It doesn’t help the thick cross hair cover all of the gong but the most outer edges
I’d try different bullets or keep working on your shooting technique and get more consistent groups at 300/400 yards before going 500/600

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