166 Hammers with H-4350 at 2925fps. Did a great job on a big-bodied 6x6 this past fall.
Curious as to what folks are using. So many rifles seem to have a few bullets that are really popular - 300wm and the Berger 215, 6.5 PRC and the 156, etc. But the 30-06 doesn't seem to have that hugely popular favorite bullet. Since there is such a huge selection of bullets, I would expect to see answers all over the map.
I wanted to shoot the Nosler 180 BT but I would get a flier a third of the time, Switched to Berger 185 VLD and it went away. With N560 I'm getting 2877 with this bullet and it should easily dispatch anything smaller than an elk, and could work for elk as well although it won't be my primary elk gun.
What are other people shooting?
I use Nosler partition 150 grain bullets I tried 165 grain bullets and my accuracy suffered ,I believe this is due to a slow twist rate in my stock Winchester barrel I drop back to 150s and it is a Laser once againCurious as to what folks are using.
