RE: 30cal.. bullets
There are a lot of good bullets out there for the 30-06. For deer I have had just as good of results from plain old Hornady 150 grain SP. Nothing I have tried really works any better. I do use Nosler Ballistic tip as well and like them except for real close range. I have seen a few that were a little fragil up close. The are unbeatable for long range shooting.
