[QUOTE="Eagle eyes 17, post: 1735601, member: 107249"] Looking back at my hunting days my rifle of choice was a Remington 30-06 , I would use 165gr Remington hunting bullets for Deer Season both Whitetails & Muleys. For Elk Season and Bear I would site in with 180gr. I had experienced both results with these bullets , some dropped on the spot and some ran before dropping. I even had one of the old double barrel 30-30/20guage short barrel single shot Rifles that I would take on River float fishing/hunting trips, on one trip I shot a bear with the 30-30 and he dropped on the spot. From my experience shot placement is #1 and as far as Caliber choice I've heard of it going either way. [/QUOTE]
