[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1242623, member: 8873"] I've read many times that flat based bullets should be easier to get to shoot accurately. Isn't that why short range benchrest bullets are mostly flat based? I have only found a couple loads my 30-06 likes, one is the 180 grain partition in the Federal Premium factory ammo. I have been using 1800 fps as a minimum for expansion to get the max range for game. With a .464 BC and velocity of 2700 fps it basically matches the .308 with a 175 Matchking and 2650 fps, which I have fired thousands (if not 10's of thousands)...and still do. I would not hesitate to shoot deer, elk, moose, etc. with this bullet in a 30-06. I'm leaving tomorrow for Colorado to hunt elk and will probably take this rifle/load combo as an emergency backup. My emergency rifle means something I can purchase factory ammo for almost anywhere. [/QUOTE]
