The 150gr Nosler BT was my go to load in the 30-06. It was my "magic load". From now on, the Hornady SST Interbond will be. The 165gr in the 30-06 is the ticket!!! This bullet has the devastating power of the Ballistic Tip, but will stick together if you clip something hard on the way to the vitals. I shot a whitetail buck this year at 60 yards with it loaded hot in my 7mm RUM (139gr @ 3600 fps, my long shot load, go figure..). The bullet clipped the near shoulder, broke two ribs, went off like a time bomb in the chest, and broke three ribs and the far shoulder before lodging under the skin on the far side. The bullet had 80% of its weight, and looked just like the catalogs said it would. I am sold on it.

And it's relatively cheap too!!
