When I was deciding between a .30-06 and a 7 Rem Mag the only factory Ammo I found that I thought would be a good fit for Elk with the .30-06 was the Federal 180 gr Nosler Accubond. I ended up going with the 7 Rem Mag because there were several bullet choices that I felt would be effective on Elk with it so I have a better chance at matching up the ammo that my gun likes to eat the best.
