[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2194454, member: 109113"] I have mostly used 180-grain bullets, the Swift A-Frame and the Nosler Partition. H-4350 was the powder, in both the 30-06 and the 30-06 AI. I switched to the 165-grain Hornady GMX a while back, in the SuperFormance factory-loaded ammo. Identical performance on deer to the other bullets so far; haven't yet shot an elk with this load. I got away from the 150-grain bullets decades ago, and the 180's destroy less meat on smallish deer. They do phenomenally well on elk, too. Even though expansion isn't as dramatic on soft animals like whitetails, the deer go down right away. It doesn't necessarily take a big hole to produce a quick kill. [/QUOTE]
