i have been shooting 150 gr bullets in my 30.06, i will most likely hunt deer in the midwest. But, what type of game before i move up to 165 gr or 180gr bullets? I am thinking that the 150 gr bullets would be pretty good for deer, black bear, elk etc... When would you want to use a 180gr and could you get away with a 150 gr in those situations if need be? I ask this cuz i see people hunting larger game with .270's using a 130 or 140 gr. So a 150 should be a good gr bullet for most things correct?

i am trying to determine that if i get to hunt larger game, having to re-sight my rifle for heavier bullets or if i can just use 150's for most things. Where are 150's no longer a good idea?


wrong forum sorry, i am moving this
