In theory I like the 165 gr. Barnes Mrx as being my choice for best all around bullet in killing animals from the 30-06.This is what I have been using since the MRX has come out.Never have used it on deer mind you,but its what I'm using this year again, and hopefully I see a buck worth using them on.It's been 6 years since I shot a deer but I have used both the 165 and the 180 with great success in killing elk and moose.But when it comes to these super premium bullets what often works on animals that require greater penatration often pencils through animals like deer.So I dropped down in bullet weight(also lowers the bullet sectional density) in hoping that I will get better bullet performance when I shoot a deer I already know they perform on elk and moose.There are great bullets available by every manfacturer but a well constructed 165 gr bullet that has appropriate sectional density for hunting the variety of game you want is a good place to start.
