The 06 can do that at double the range. To be back on topic a 06 with a heavily constructed projectile would be more useful to the OP in his situation than a shorter range 45-70 whilst having bore size and energy may not have penetration as range increases. This statement is more for a discussion than claiming it to be fact .
