im a hollowpoint or ballistic tip man myself....i like devistation...federal nosler balistic tips are the way to go for factory 06 rounds...we get them in 165gr...but they are " expensive" ..about 20$ a box..but i havent seen a deer take a single step after my dad shot them with a 3006 and balistic tips....i myself reload at my friends and loaded some hollow points for myself..same exzact holes and results...but they are right....jsut about any bullet will do...just gota hit them right....
