[QUOTE="budlight, post: 464350, member: 2939"] IMO - As a youngster the rage was heavy brush busting bullets. Like 200 grain round nose out of a 30-06. what i saw from downed elk recovered bullets was little if any expansion of the copper jacket and maybe 80% weight retention. Years later I found that higher speed and less weight with the higher BC to be the preferred rounds. I think 30-06 is best suited to 160 - 180 grain [url=http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=146583]Nosler AccuBond Bullets 30 Caliber (308 Diameter) 165 Grain Spitzer Boat Tail Box of 50 - MidwayUSA[/url] [/QUOTE]
