30/06 load for moose and deer.

[BIGHUNTERFISH]

If you guys wanted one good factory load for moose and deer what would it be.

[Mr. Dean]

A quality 165 grain bullet using whatever powder that made it group well from the rifle being used.

[Ltbullken]

I'd agree with a 'good' 165 grn factory load if you coudl get a Trophe Bonded (Federal) or even a TSX bullet! TB bullets are not reputed for good accuracy...? But not having shot them, I'd coudln't say for certain.

Good luck.

[mikek blacktail]

go to federal and check out there ballistics table lots of variety for a 3006

[CanAm500]

180 grain nosler partitions, nothing more....I havent shot a moose yet so I dunno if I count :confused: . But that is that I will be using if I get a LEH this year.

[Elkhound]

Factory for my 06 would be a 165gr interbond in the Hornady light mag custom.

[kutenay]

For a factory load, I have used the Federal 180 NP in both standard and HE versions with total satisfaction. The HEs are HOT, so, I wouldn't use them in a Win. 95 or autoloader, BLR or breakaction rifle. IF, they show pressure signs in YOUR rifle, use the regular loads, but, they are OK in the rifles I have shot them in so far. VERY good load, sub-moa in my four .30-06s.

[todbartell]

only the weak shoot factory ammo, but if I was forced to, it would be Federal premium 165 gr TSX

[Fisher-Dude]

Remington Core Lokt Ultra Bonded, in 180gr. Save the NPs for gopher hunting. :lol:

I'll spin Bartell's comments another way...only the weak shoot non-magnums. 8-)

[Jetboat]

CIL 180gr KlingKor RNSP :twisted:

[Will]

Sell the POS and get a real rifle.............:lol:

Although a 180 Partition load would be tough to beat for a do it all Load in the '06 :wink:

[Silent Wolf]

I use 180grain Federals from WallyMart, to date I have never had a problem, everything drops on the spot.

For Hand loads it would be 180gr Nosler Part. 55grains of IMR43508)

I started asking the same question a little bit ago. I am going to be triing the Federal Fusion 165gr. Good quality bullet that won't brake the bank. The local shop has them for $42/box. I was using the Winchester 165gr soft point but found the grouping is inconsistant.

[Schmaus]

Everybody knows you need at least a .338 mag shooting the most expensive 250 grain super extra special premium ammo you can find to kill a moose.

Crap.....I am using 225gr in my .338:cry:

[ALPINE]

180 gr Remington Core Lokt Ultra Bonded, Hits em like a Hammer

[lapadat]

I have to go with Bartell on this one. 165 TSX....or 180 TSX, whichever your fire stick prefers.

[Buckman]

180g winchester super X power point form canadian tire. Besides its all about shot placement, shot placement and more shot placement

[wetcoaster]

Doesn't matter! If you hit it with a 180 grain in the vitals from any of the premium bullets and for that matter with any of the factory hunting bullets it will drop.

If I wanted the best it would be Interbonds or TSX if they group well out of your bang stick.

[elkguide]

I have used the Federal high energy 180gr. Partitions since their inception....until I started shooting the Federal premium 180 grn. TSX......By far......the best bullet ever made........acurate and good for all game.......

[Ltbullken]

.338 - only for amateurs! Must have a 416 Rem for serious moose hunting to even get through this door. Then we'll talk! :roll:

[i6s1]

My rifle loves the cheap Federal 180s, for whatever reason they group great. So that'd be what works for me.
