Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 215 gr Berger in the 30-06

These modern LR bullets breathe new performance into everything.

Depending on how fast you want to go, and barrel life.

I'd guess roughly velocity/bbl life on 26" bbls,


300 WinMag - 2950 fps, 2500-3000 rounds

30-06 - 2750 fps, 6000 rounds

308 (long throated) - 2600 fps, 8000-10,000 rounds


With a BC of .696, they will all make 1000+ yards look like cheating.
