Antelope bullet choices for bigger gun

[midwesthunter]

In my group that's going out west, two will be using a 30-06, what bullet would you recommend? Has to be factory ammo, as they don't reload, I was thinking a 150 grain Nosler Ballistic tip

 

[HARPERC]

I'd narrow the list by what shot the best.

I think you are in the right bullet weight and a Winchester ballistic silver tip, the swift Sirocco Hornady SST, and Nosler ballistic tip.

150 Ballistic tip is a perfect choice. Good Luck

Antelope aren't very big, nor are they that tough. Any good factory bullet will work.

As mentioned above, the one your gun shoots best would be the best choice.

150 gr nosler ballistic tip is fine. Don't overlook the Hornady SST's.

Shoot the same bullet that you are already shooting from the 06. If it shoots good that is

I wouldn't worry about it. Last year, I just used my elk load of 180 nosler partitions and it worked just fine. Shot was less than 50 yards and I had a clean pass through behind the shoulder. Went down in a few yards with no added drama. So long as your impact velocity isn't too high, any big game bullet should work fine.

What WYODOG said. If you already have a load worked up for your ;06' You'll save time and money using what already works for your rifle.
