It really doesn't matter. As others have said there is NO magical bullet. Bullet weight doesn't really matter...... its where you put it.

Thanks caller. for taking the time to enlighten the ignorant(me)

I'm not dumb, all the tracking I've been doing is probably due to my shot placement. I'll put a little more time in zeroing the weapon. Be more patient. Thought maybe a round change would help a smidge.

Thanks all... Wish you all happy hunting and good times incamp.......

No such thing as a bad load for the .30-06 as far as I know. Shoot the one you shoot best.
