Default RE: Favorite .30-06 deer/hog load?

I'm not being a smarta$$ by saying this...but doesthe typebullet out of a 30-06 really matter when shooting a white-tail?

If you're shooting a moose or elk, the bullet is important...but on a deer that is 1/5 the size of a moose hunted with the same caliber I just don't see the importance of the bullet. Lots of guys shoot lots of deer with calibers starting as low as .22 and they are successful at it.

The important thing about the bullet that you are shooting is that it hits where you want it to.

I'm not belittling your post...just telling you to get a bullet that groups tighter than a frogs butt.
