Default RE: Bullet groups for .30-06

GorV, that is a hard question to answer without a little more info. For starters, are you planning on hunting with your ought-six, or just punching paper? If hunting, what type of game?

I say this as the type of game is going to determine what type and/or weight of bullet. I have had good accuracy with 150-grain Nosler Partitions and Speer Grand Slams from my two -06's, and superior accuracy with 165-grain Nosler Ballistic Tips. They also shot 180-grain Core-Lokt's well (I haven't had the chance to try the 200-grain Speer GS bullets yet). However, while I can recommend the 165-grain BT's for deer, I would not give them the nod for elk or moose.

Tell us what you want the bullet to do and we'll give you some more data!

Brian
