Reading a chart for what is theoretically the drop for that ammo in a test gun, and you not having experience shooting at those distances, its a no go.
exactly, what size groups do you shoot at 95 yards? the 06 with great accuracy has the power to easily take a deer beyond 300 yards just using holdover and set up properly will do well at 600 and beyond, but you have to have a super accurate rifle, a pretty good grasp on how ballistics works, and the skill to pull off the shot. its not hard just takes time and dedication and a lil money spent.
