[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3815536, member: 15054"] I have 2 30-06 rifles in Mossberg 100ATR and took the Savage .308 and the 30-06 out for a shooting match trying to shoot 700 yards with high winds across a valley. I had wind in my face and from left and from the right and from behind the bullet. Very difficult to hit the rock pile. 400 and 450 yards was super easy for either one and 700 yards no hits from either rifle. On a calmer day 5-10 MPH winds straight across a field shooting 500 yards both rifles would hold under 5" group. .308 was a wee bit tighter. Short heavy barrel 18" on the 308 and pencil barrel 22" on the 30-06. I have a safe for the Mossberg hand load with 155gr bullet 3176 fps. No sticky bolt at all at 100 degree temp. I have never had the need for anything larger than 30-06. I have often thought of a heavy barrel 30-06. But what I have now gets the job done. [/QUOTE]
