Ive had my 30-06 for quite some time. My first hunting load was 165gr Nosler ballistic tips, they performed great, but soon quit using plastic tipped bullets. I switched to 165gr Hornady BTSP and had great success with them. One day I stumbled across 2 boxes of Nosler 220gr semi spitzer partitions (1/2 off) and decided to give them a go, amazing, very accurate and killed deer and hogs as dead as everything else I had used. Ive shot that 220gr load for the last 10 years and have now decided to shake it up again. What all hunting loads (powder/bullet) do you guys use in your trusty old 06’s? I’m hoping to get a little inspiration to try and figure out which direction I want to go next.
