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......
Well since I live in MS, that probably won't be an issue. But I have never heard a law that states you have to shoot a 200 Grain bulletor a 30/06. So I guess I am back in..
