Best 180 grain 30-06 ammo

Sounds like you have the perfect hog and deer load at all reasonable distances.

1/4” at 100 is meaningless at 600. Find a load that groups at distance and it’ll take care of the close stuff.

Let me explain something 1/4 moa at 100 yards is 1 moa at 400 1 1/4 at 500. Now that's will vary bc of wind and alot of other factors. But I don't shoot any rifle that is not sub moa at 100 yards. That would be stupid.

What's the G1 bc on those?

Looks like .615.

I shot my elk at just under 400 yards. Worked for me.

1/4 moa at 100 is 1 moa at 400? I agree with that, 4" groups (1 moa) at 400 is about right.

Yeah why not be shooting 1 moa at 400 instead of 3 moa like ever other ammo I've tried would be?

I'll have to try some out I have heard good things from the bondstrike.

ive shot 180 Hornady whitetail for years. always done the job. this year i shot a buck facing me at about 120 yards. pulled shot slightly and missed the frontal. Hit ribs and bullet ended up in hip socket. the bullet had separated from the jacket. I think it was due to the way the bullet hit multiple ribs head on vs broadside.

Personally ive also shot the 150 grs. and i prefer them but found a good deal on the 180s and bought 10 boxes so thats what ive been shooting

Sounds like a good bullet might have to try some.

If you substituted "inches" for your use of "MOA", your statement would be correct.

Barring other factors, 1/4 MOA = 1/4 MOA, no matter how far. That's the value of using "MOA".

That’s not how moa works.
