well 30-06 is your best gun just shoot a lighter grain bullet like 150-160 just see what grain works for your type of shooting... i shoot anywhere from 10 yards to 300 yards or more and i use a 30-06 with 165 grain siera game king bullet carries great... sighted in for 150 yards with a busnell elite 3200 3-9 x 40 mm scope on a remington model 7600 pump
