Heavy Bullets in the 30-06

[RugerNo1shooter]

Has anyone used 200gr Sierra Match Kings, 200gr Sierra Game Kings, 220gr Sierra Game Kings or 220gr Hornady RNs in their 30-06?

Loads that worked well?
Results on game?
Thoughts on using 190-220gr bullets in the 30-06?

Thanks
Pat

Hope you get some information plan on using a
200gr AB for elk out of an 06.

59 grains of RL22 works well in my rifle with the 200 grain accubond. It chronys 2620 in a 22" barrel and is quite accurate. Nosler lists the starting load at 54 and max at 58 grains.

This is one of my close range bear loads. I chose it b/c it shoots decent but has the velocity for power. About 1 and 1/4" groups but I loaded these for baited bear hunts.

I prefer the 200-220 over the 180's but i like heavy for cal. bullets anyway and have shot the 250 woodleighs, I havent tried the the accubonds yet i just dont think they will expand at longer ranges due to low velocity. I have had good luck with 55.7gr of norma 204 with the 200gr norma oryx i get around 2610fps with this in a 24" barrel and it shoots a little over moa up to the 250yds or so that my gun club has as its long rifle range.

Thanks for the information plan on using the Accubond 200gr.

My 28" barrel 30-06 shot the 200gr Accubonds really well loaded with 61.0grs of Reloader 26.
