Does the pope a funny hat? Throw in some 180gr federals partitions, and go elk hunting.

A 30-06 is fine, but take bigcountry's advice and select a premium bullet. 180 grain Federal Partitions are a great choice. You want a heavy premium bullet that will hold together.

Ballistic Silvertips and rounds like it are for lighter skinned game.
