Default RE: 30.06 USERs

My father has shot a truck load of deer with Rem. 150 grain bronze points. It's an excelent bullet for rib shots, as it's quite explosive. Lately he has been useing Rem 150 cor-loks as the bronze points can be harder to find. He also shot a couple with Winchester 165 grain, but i'm not sure of the bullet design.

The 30-06 has enough power that any of the 150 or 165 grain bullets should work just fine! That's the advantage of useing something bigger than, say a .243 win..

In my opinion, anything "heavier" than the 165's are too heavy for deer sized game, as unless they hit bone, they don't always expand well. Stay away from all the "match" bullets too.
