your rifle may or may not like this, load but many of the guys I hunt elk with love the 760/7600 slide action 30/06 and Ive hand loaded ,
speer 200 grain bullets, over a 215 federal primer and 47 grains of ww760

its important to seat the bullets to the max length the magazine allows, most of the guys sight the rifles to hit 3.5" high at 100 yards
that puts the zero at about 225 yards and its about 7" low at 300, certainly flat enough to hunt elk, most of the guys like the potential for a quick second or third shot, but few need one.
