One of my 30-06 rifles that I use most often is a Ruger 77UL with a Zeiss 3X9X40 scope. I have hunted deer, caribou and elk with that same gun and always use Federal 180 gr Barnes TSX bullets. No problems this year bringing down a Vt buck and a Colorado elk with that set up. Great performance as well as accuracy out of that little light weight gun with that load.
