I was wondering if anyone knew a website that could help me out with my 30.06 (or if anyone here can supply me with info instead of a website). I'm going to be shooting 150 gr. shells out of it and didn't know what to expect for ballistics. I've sighted it in for 100 yards and it's right on. It's about an inch or two low at 40-50 yards as well. I would like to use it to its full potential just in case I had to make a longer shot than 100 yards. Any help would be appreciated.
I zero my .270-.30/'06 class rifles to hit 4" high at 100 yards. This puts them about +4" at 200 yards also, -3" @ 300, and about -15" at 400 yards.... This is with 150-grain bullets at a MV in the 2900 FPS range for both cartridges. This gives a max "point-blank" range for deer hunting of around 330 yards, but greater for elk or moose. A mid-range height of 4.5" will not cause midrange misses on deer, but anything greater might......
