Default RE: 30.06 USERs

As someone else mentioned, you have to try a few out to decide.

My 700 BDL wood 30-06 liked the $9.99 180 Grain Rem core lokt
MY 700 BDL stainless synthetic 30-06 likes $19.99 Federal premium boat tails in 165 grain.

The 165 grn Federal premium ballistic tips didn't shoot quite as weel, but look pretty cool.

This year I want to try the Remington Accutips also.

In WI 165 grain is about the best bet. Some guys prefer the 180's but it's not worth the extra recoil and if you look at ballistic charts you will see that the 165 has almost identical energy as a 180 grain bullet out to approx. 200 yds. and then it actually has more energy than the 180.
