[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2505679, member: 5412"] I took my elk this year with the 06 at 455 yds. 165 grain Barnes bullet. I recovered the bullet in the off side, perfectly mushroomed, and it didn't loose a grain of weight. I've killed several deer with the same round at 400 yd + distances. Carmichael(the champion of the .270) took dozens with a .270. How many were killed with a lever gun in 30-30 back in the day? That's getting too light for anything further than 100 yds IMHO. Placement, placement, placement. [/QUOTE]
