[QUOTE="coug, post: 1656212, member: 19400"] The 30-06 is capable of a little more muzzle energy then the .308. both have what it takes to kill a white tail that far. shooting 500 yards consistently will be more about your optics than your choice between those to calibers. you will want to shoot a heavier bullet if you want to shoot 500yards. One with a high BC so it will maintain its energy out there. I would agree with the OP that the 7mm stuff is actually a little better for what you are trying to do. My choice in long range killer is a 6.5-06 Ackley Improved. 6.5 or 7mm bullets are great long range killers. [/QUOTE]
