Someone on the forum suggested I check out the ballistics on the new Federal High Energy Bullets. I have been wondering weather I should upgrade from a 30-06 to a .300 Win Mag. or WSM. However, the ballistics on the 30-06 Federal High Energy Nosler Partition round appears to be better than many .300 Win Mag cartridges....atleast at 400 to 500 yards....and that is the range that concerned me in the first place. ( I have total faith in my 06 at closer ranges). So, are the ballistics wrong in Federal's catalog.....or is it true....that I can get velocity and energy numbers just as high (and in some cases higher) with the High Engergy rounds than I could with the standard .300 Win Mag rounds?? See the Federal 2004 Ammo Ballistic Catalog and tell me if I'm missing something. This suggests that I don't need to upgrade....as long as I'm spending $28.99 a box.
