i recommend finding someone who does reload. IMO reloads are FAR more consistent than even "premium" factory ammo. you should get sub 1" groups at 100 yds with a reload. i don't think i've shot a factory round yet that can do that.

use a barnes triple shock hollow point. even a 150 gr will stop about anything out there.

I have had very good luck with Partitions in .30-06

Both Winchester XP3 and Federal Premium offer Nosler Accubond bullets. Nosler AB or Partition bullets are very good heavy hided, big game bullets that'll hold together well. I use the Nosler Accubond on Elk very effectively. I do hand load and use them almost exclusively, because of this characteristic and they are shoot accurrate (sub 1" in.) groups out of my rifles.
