I use to use 168 gr nosler partition for my 06. I've moved to a 308 now but I'd imagine the same bullet will shoot well in it to. Gotta dial my loads in first. So far it's loving the nosler 168 gr custom competition bthp. Alot of my hunting (when I was able to go) is in the woods so I don't have a long shot so there I use my 45 marlin cowboy or 45 Ruger blackhawk.
