1st time shooting 1 mile. Self spotting with a Phone Skope. Got it done in 10 shots. I might have clipped it high on my 2nd shot.

--DOPE for 1 mile: 59 MOA elevation, backed magnification to 9.5x and held on the bottom post of the BDC. 96.5 MOA total with holdover. 1 MOA left windage. I have 61 MOA of available elevation in the scope itself.

Nice shooting! Gotta love the ‘06.

Good to see more 06 posts.

I have the Long Range as well. Just need to get back into reloading before I try some longer range shots.

Oahu, great shooting. Get some Lapua brass,reload with some 195 ELD-M bullets and it will do better

Nice work.

I also shoot the 30-06 long range.

I can get to 1 mile with approx 72 moa/22 mils (elevation 4500 ft) with this load:

215gr Berger
54gr RL17
2650 fps from my 22.5" barrel.

My rifle is also Rem 700, McMillan A2 stock, Douglas #7 1/10 twist barrel, 22.5", Badger Ord floorplate, brake, knob, lug.
I have a SWFA 12X on a 45moa Badger Ordnance rail. This gives me over 30 mils 'up' in the erector, plus 10 mils on the reticle.

Reading your posts is a big reason why I went .30-06. Have you tried the new 208 LRHT?

Excellent work that is fun to see. I will second the comment on Lapua brass my buddy and I did some experimenting b/c Hornady and Lapua and the mystery of vertical dispersion at 1mile went away fast after both going to Lapua exclusively.

No, but it looks like a good one.

You have virtually THE EXACT same setup as i do.. Gun EXACTLY like mine, you use 180SST, I use 178 ELD .. You got diamondback vs my crossfire.. My reloads duplicate factory.. I only have access to 500 yrds, but still sub moa.. You prove what i tell people... With todays bullets, the 30'06 CAN STILL DO LONG RANGE.. It did it in Vietnam with just a 173gr matchking.. You ALSO prove you dont have to have 6K $ in a rifle to do it.. All i did was trigger work, breaks like glass at 1 3/4 pounds.. Thats it.. You prove similar load as mine CAN "reach out there"

I'm about ready to bite on a 7 PRC, the only thing holding me back on the Remy is I cant tell from any photos if the barrel if tthreaded, or would I have to have it done. My Remy 799 PCR in 6.5 manbun is threaded.

YOuve got one, is it threaded?

Your 10 twist is doing ok with 215s?

Yes, works well.

Nothing wrong with the 06 especially if throated for longer bullets like the Berger 200x
