I have to agree with Wyosmith that the 30-06 is indeed effective out past 400 yards and I wouldn't hesitate to take a 500 or 600 yard shot with mine. I have personally taken deer (white tails) at 485 and 545 yards and they were one shot kills. All I load in my 30-06 loads are 165 and 180 gr. bullets and they are Remington Cor-loks. I swear by Cor-loks and use them almost exclusively in all my reloads in many calibers. A person who knows his rifle and ammo, and who has practiced long range shooting, and has confidence in his ability to put a bullet where he wants it, shouldn't refrain from taking shots past 400 yards with a 30-06.
