This would probably be better answered in the firearms forum. But Ill bite anyway. The point blank range of a cartridge in my opinion, assuming that youve practiced at that range of course. Point blank for an -06 with 180 gr bullets and a standard 200 yard zero would be around 250 Im sure. Did I use the term "Point blank" properly? Im sure one of our ballistic gurus will quickly straighten me out. I know what I mean just may have improperly used a term to explain it.

The idea is to sight your rifle in at a range that makes t so you can shoot to the longest possible range without holding over your target. Of course like I said you must practice at the ranges you plan on taking game.

My thinking is... Who in the world would by a 30-06 to take long range shots...
Chance are... Nobody... So that tells me that the person just has this rifle hanging around... Chance are it's not a long rang shooter...
You might want to stick with the 200 yard range... I doubt I'd break out all the BC stuff out on the guy...
Gun is prob semi or a pumb and only shoots 2" groups at best anyhow...

I actually know of several guys that do. Granted it's far from my first choice for long range shooting, but apparently to some, it's the go to rifle for it.
Plus, it was one of the first original sniper rifles, but because of it's recoil, another rifle was sought after.
