RE: 30cal.. bullets
 

The nosler partitions have done a nice job for me. I really prefer the barnes x bullets. You can drop quite a bit of weight and still get great knock down. Just my opinion but I wouldn' t hesitate trying the 150 grain barnes x or xlc.

I' ll second the Barnes in .30-06. Look into the lastest version the " Triple Shock" . The Barnes tech folks recommend the 168 gr. and IMR4350 powder the for the best accuracy. Beats me why folks spend all that time, effort, and money on hunting then try to cut corners to save a few dollars on ammo. And ammo being the most important item on the shopping list.
