    first buck down

    okay I don't know the whole story but i do know that they saw this buck as they came around a corner he was about 70 yards out. When he stepped out my father-in-law nailed him in the shoulder at an angle which then the bullet hit the spine and down he went. This is my father-in-laws first deer. We have a total of three tags mine, my father-in-law, and my dad.

    30-06 long vs short range shooting.

    If you want to site it in at 200 aim at center at 100 yards and shoot high about 2 1/4 of an inch. Mine is 3 inches high at 100 which makes it zeroed at 250 yards. 2 inch groups, well is that shooter error or are you dead steady. I use a bench and can all shots within a 1/4 inch of touching each other. Best advise is shoot and shoot and shoot all the time. Practice and try different positions sorry is said positions .

    That loooks like one to me too.

    30-06 long vs short range shooting.

    Okay now that makes since. That is what i thought the further you get out there 1 click would equal more than a 1/4 I was told different. All I do is clicks anyway. And if the target is closer than 100 yards then you will get 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 increments. Right? Oh well I have tried my gun out to 500 yards and did as many clicks as it told me to and I was dead on. I will just go by clicks. Thank you guys.

    30-06 long vs short range shooting.

    I have mine zeroed in at 251 yards. At 500 yards it is only like a 6 or 7 inch drop. Yes a 30-06 is a great gun for those long range shots just make sure you use a 165 or 168 grain bullet up to 500 yards anything over that try a higher grain. You can make a 1000 yard shot at only 30 inch drop which ain't bad. I am shooting 150 grain nosler bal tip in 48 grains of powder. I only shoot out to 500 yards. I am wanting to shoot all of these bt bullets up so I can get the 168 so I am confident at 600 to 700. Just shoot as much as possible and get a really good scope like Nightforce. Also get you a used pocket PC on ebay for like 65 dollars and grab the Nightforce ballistics software for the pocket pc and you can enter everthing in the field before you shoot so you are dead on. Good luck.
