[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1161666, member: 77249"] The 30-06 180 gr RN Remington Cor-Loc is one of the greatest deer, 250 lb. and less Black Bear bullets I have seen used. Many of those bullets will not exit if they cross through the chest and stop in the shoulder on the other side, No exit wound makes blood scarce for tracking, if needed. On Elk and Moose size animals I would suggest 180 gr. or 200 gr. Nosler Partition also for 30-06. They give you good expansion initially and deep penetration. I have shot animals with 270, 30 and 338 Nosler Partition. Only had one 180 gr. 30 cal. NP recovered, It was from an Elk, right flank to left front shoulder. Over 4 ft. penetration with a 300 WSM at 220 yds. Good Luck in your choice. [/QUOTE]
