[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1177045, member: 75451"] insulator, I would certainly suggest the Barnes TTSX, but IMHO opinion drop down to a 165/168 grainer. With the Barnes you will have almost 100% weight retention,giving you greater retained bullet weight than with your typical cup and core bullets. But because of a longer bullet due to it's being all copper,the 180(again IMHO) uses up too much of the available powder space in a 30-06. The 165/168's will give somewhat higher velocities with negligible loss in terminal performance. In summary,I believe that 300/400 yrd. shots would be a slightly easier for the hunter(higher velocities,flatter trajectories) ,without sacrificing performance on big game(elk,bear,moose,ext.) memtb [/QUOTE]
