Default RE: velocity for a hunting round

ORIGINAL: cjwink

I like to stay at or above the 3000 fps mark.. Just because I like the gun I shoot to be pretty flat for hunting large fields or powerlines where you have the oppurtunity to go out to about 300 yards.
Well, you ain't gonna do that with a 200-grain bullet from a .30/'06! Nor withanything heavier than 130 grains in an '06 either. Kinda puts you out of the running for along-range elk/moose load......
