Need some help ... (.30-06 Ballistics Chart, Zeroing Tips)

[vigilant2]

Hi Guys, does anyone have or know where I can get a bullet
trajectory chart for .30-06 projectile. I have a bolt action in this
caliber and want to start using it. Would also appreciate any
recommendations on what distance is normally used for zero
with this caliber. I'm assuming 200yrds for starters. Thanks for any
help.

Ideal zero distance for any cartridge depends on bullet weight, type, and velocity, as well as your intended use. In the 30/06, a 165 or 180 zeroed 2.5 or 3 inches high will be nearly dead on at 200-225m, and will neatly do anything you might reasonably ask of a 30/06. 220 grains is the classic .30-caliber heavyweight, but I suspect that a 180-grain Barnes TSX will out penetrate it, and I know it will shoot far flatter with less recoil.
