    Not 30-06 but its theoretical ballistic twin I ran the 178 amax (soposidly the eldm is the same) at 2975fps and shot a lot of reds with it, everything dropped on the spot nothing walked even out 500y. Even had a unintentional 2 for 1 at around 350y and both of them dropped on the spot too.
    Downside is they were very messy,a shoulder shot on a big animal could bruise all the way back to the hind quarters, meat was still fine but blood between all the membranes meaning lots of trimming.

    Tried 150gmx for a more meat freindly round for when it was possible to recover whole animal but it was not much better TBH
    jakewire and Moa Hunter like this.
