Guys - I ended up picking up HC xbolt speed in 30.06 . With rebate was $800. Thanks for all your input

What a great rifle! I put a vortex 4x16 I had on it and went to the range. I put about a box of federal blue box power shock in 180 grain and it shot ok around 1 1/4 groups at 100. Then I had 165 federal premium series game kings and the group closed to about 3/4” and the winner was 165 federal nosler ballistic tips with all 5 touching 😀. Looks that that will be an awesome round for whitetails here in WI. Any thoughts on an Round for Elk?

Which ever one is the most accurate and you have the most confidence in.

I've used a lot for nosler partition 180g for elk in the past. I've used those on moose as well but wha tI really like is the Trophy Bonded Bearclaw 200g......Turns my 30-06 into sort of a light magnum.
