[QUOTE="3006savage, post: 381017, member: 12069"] I like heavier bullets especially in the 06. I like the 180-200 grain accubond and the 180 grain interbond for elk from the 06. I use 54 grains RL17 with the 200 grain accubond at it clocks 2720 fps and the 180 use 56 grains RL17 and clock 2820 with 1/2" to 5/8" groups the norm on calm days. I am currently working up a load with the 168 grain etip because it has a .503 BC and near 100% weight retention. If I can get 3000 fps and good groups like I can with the 168 grain BTs I will probably give them a try on my next hunt instead of the accubond. If you use heavier bullets at the lower velocities of the 06 you really do not need premium bullets. A hornady 190 grain BTSP or 180 grain Speer BTSP would work just fine. [/QUOTE]
