The 165 in my cheaper gun shot a little loose and erratic but the old 180 groups nice and puts your animal down aswell.

BS
"A couple inches high at 200"??
So what's that....4...5...6" high at 100??
Is that deer 390m or 445m??
Guess it wrong and it's a complete miss.
Unless you have a range finder,a metric tonne of trigger time behind your 06 with handloads,and drop charts tattooed on your forearm,you have no bizness shooting much past 300y with 30-06.
If you think you're gonna eyeball a deer and guesstimate the range at 400-500 yards give er take,and drop a bullet into it's heart,yer dreamn.
