30-06 bullet recommendations?

[D Lee]

Greetings.

Some quick background.....

After a substantial amount of recent reload testing at the range - both .270 Win and 30-06 - no disrespect to anyone here - I no longer have faith in monos. Again and again accuracy was mediocre at best - averaging 1.5" to 2" @ 100.

Granted - it may have been my reloading recipes / procedures. I can say, I strictly follow the reloading manuals guidelines - always. Has always worked successfully over the decades with many different bullets in as many cartridges - MOA and better.

To those of you who are successful with monos - God bless you and congratulations. Keep up the good work. Please - NO need to reply with bullet or reloading suggestions. Thank you. I'm NO LONGER seeking advice on using monos.

I'm posting here for your specific BONDED bullet recommendation for my 30-06 only - 3 animals - 1) ELK 2) Moose and 3) Grizzly.

After reading countless books whose authors hunted world-wide and provided FIELD results - along with a few thousand credible articles / internet posts - it seems the 180 or 200 gr Partition would set a reasonable standard for comparison. If you would like to share your EXPERIENCE with the bonded bullet you personally prefer on the game animals I mentioned above - I would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks.

Cheers!!

I’ve killed a lot of animals with good ol Remington core-lokt bullets out of a 30-06. Mostly elk, out of the 20+ elk I’ve killed with a rifle half were killed with core lokt from several different cartridges, mostly 30-06 & .243.

Although I haven’t shoot them since I started reloading and started using VLD’s I would have zero hesitations using that ammo for any big game animal. The Remington Core-Lokt ammo has probably killed more big game animals than almost all other ammo combined and does it well.

I’ve had several rifles who have shot sub MOA 3 shot groups with factory Remington ammo too. Honestly for most hunting and most people 1.5 MOA is plenty accurate for the size of game we hunt at the distances we hunt. I love shooting long range and having tight grouping match ammo but I’ve never taken a shot at an elk at over 200 yards and most have been 100 or closer.

Had good luck with 180 gr. Nosler Accubond in both the 30-06 and 300 mag.
