[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2126831, member: 69478"] The .30-06 is an excellent hunting cartridge. Though it is old and there’s a lot of new options, the old ‘06 can still get the job done. With modern bullets and powders, the .30-06 really is a great mid sized cartridge for big game hunting. Some of the modern factory ammunition also really gives the .30-06 a boost. If you plan to reload then you can really get some awesome performance. Depending on what ranges you will be hunting, I would look into bullets that fall in the 180-210gr weight range. I would be looking at the 180gr and 205gr Berger Elite Hunters, Sierra’s 180gr Tipped GameKing, Hornady 200gr ELD-X, and Nosler’s 200gr Accubond. For powder, I would choose Alliant RL23 or RL26 and also look for H4831sc. If you don’t plan to reload, I would find a premium loading from Federal, Sierra, Nosler, or Hornady. [/QUOTE]
