So I have my beloved 30-06 (Savage 110) and use it for both deer and Elk, but with 2 different loads. I'm using 165gr Gameking for deer and 180gr Nosler Partitions for elk and really want to use the -06 for elk only.
So, I am thinking of another rifle in a different, flatter shooting caliber for Coues Whitetails here in Arizona where shots out to 500 yards are not uncommon. Should I even think about another rifle or stick with my -06?
I'm pretty confident in the 165gr Gameking load and IMR 4350 out to 300 yards but beyond that, I dunno. As much as I'd like to stick to 1 load for that rifle, the 180s are too much for the Coues in my mind so should I get a 25-06 or something flat shooting?
Convince me that I'm fine with my current beloved -06 and stop worrying please......
