Royce, I used to hunt a lot with a couple guys who used 06's..
They often killed an elk, but a most as often they didn't take as shot because it was too far... Most of the guys I know that carried .308's or 06's, practiced very little if at all... One group "sighted in"off hand at a box a fridge came in.. If the hit it they were good to go.. They liked these calibers because ammo was cheap...
