Have a friend who recently went Elk hunting close to Craig Colorado (wish it had been me dammit!). Anyway he only has a 270 which I told him would be adequate but he wanted to borrow one of my guns shooting a heavier bullet. I let him use my loaner - a Steyr 30-06 shooting a 200 gr Accubond in front of a stiff load of RL17 at 2725 fps. He got his chance and shot a bull at 135 yards. Bullet went in behind the front shoulder, hit a rib and was sticking shank out on the other side. DRT

2700 is pretty good for a 200 gr out of an -06. Great performance though.
