chevymanar,

I'm not going to take that whole post apart line by line, mostly because I'm just too tired to do so. I will say that whoever your friend is, he doesn't really know crap about ballistics. There are several things in your quoted post that is just flat out incorrect.

dixiedawg80,

If the reason you're contemplating loading the very large for caliber 220 grain RN bullets is because you think that they'll "bust the brush" better than a 150 grain spitzer soft point, you'd be wrong. Brush will deflect the 220 grain bullet as easily as the 150 grainer. If you want to load them just because you have some, then go right ahead. The performance will not be all that great at 30-06 velocities, but it'll do just fine on deer.
