I'm relatively new to hunting (2 years) and just recently bought a rifle. In the past I've borrowed, and absolutely could not do that again. Anyway, I've got a .30-06 and I'm wondering what grain and bullet type would you recommend for whitetail deer in an area that's thick woods with few openings and almost every shot is under 100 yards? I'm thinking 150 grain, but I have no idea what type of bullet.
For whitetail deer, any good 150gr. bullet will do. A friend of mine uses a 30-06, and I often use a .308Win. We both use 150gr. ammo. He uses Rem. Core-Lokt in his '06,
and I can use either standard Federal, or Rem. Core-Lokt in mine also. No need for
premium ammo for whitetials.
