FAQ

Is 30-06 good for elk?
Yes. A 180-grain bullet is the classic elk weight in the 30-06. This GameChanger adds a high BC for longer shots in open country.

What is the effective range of a 30-06?
It depends on the bullet, the rifle and the shooter. A 0.515 BC bullet holds speed well, but you should only shoot as far as you have practiced and can hit every time.

How much does a 30-06 bullet drop?
Drop depends on speed, BC and zero. A heavy, high-BC bullet like this one drops less than a round-nose of the same weight. Test at the range to get your numbers.

Is Underwood nickel brass reloadable?
Yes. The nickel-plated brass cases use non-corrosive Boxer primers and are listed as reloadable. Nickel helps cases resist tarnish in wet weather.
