TOP 5 Best .30-06 Ammo for Big-Game - Madman Review
Рет қаралды 128,006
Күн бұрынIf you want the big boy cartridge to take down big-game animals, you got .30/06. Granted, it is not the only go-to cartridge after the rise of the .308 Winchester and the 6.5 Creedmoor. Despite the competition, the century-old cartridge still holds a very special place in the hearts of hunters and gun enthusiasts alike.

I've been using the 30-06 all my big game hunting life. I have shot over 20 moose and as many deer with a few "nuisance" bear. I would not trade my 30-06 for anything. If I have a problem, it is usually behind the gun. The cartridge has never failed me, nor has it lacked power.

I've used my Ruger M77 for over 40yrs. And though I've always handloaded , Remington 165gr Core-Lokt SP have worked like a lightning bolt on PA whitetail. I remember when they'd be $4.99 box/20 during big store hunting season sales. I know 'they' say ya don't need more than a 150gr on thin-skinned deer, but 165gr bullets shoot much tighter groups in my rifle.

There used to be a video of a 16 year old in Alaska that downed a 950+ pound grizzly with 2 shots of Remington Cor-lokt 180 grain both punched thru BOTH shoulders. He couldn't even lift the bears head without help it was that massive. I wish they still made the 220 grain for the -06. The only rifle I would even consider trading the -06 for would be the 7mm magnum only because it shoots 125 to 175 grain bullets like the -06 does.

I’ve also tried other Brands of cup and core, lighter, and heavier core locts as well. The 180 grain just seems to get it done better for anchoring on the spot in years past with authority for me. I’ve noticed the last couple of bulk projectiles I bought from Remington don’t anchor deer on the spot like the older production core locts did. I am guessing the lead alloy hardness has changed over the years to not expand as rapidly.

There are so many great bullets and loads. There are also a huge pile of entirely acceptable standard bullets for fairly typical non demanding hunting. I am beginning to think the electroplated Fusion type bullet is going to emerge as a nearly universal do all bullet before long. As that manufacturing technique gets further developed, I expect to see other manufacturers doing similar. I suspect that design is fairly cheap to make and adjust for expansion. You don't really need much of a bullet to kill even a 200 lb deer cleanly and consistently at 200 yards. That's about twice the typical range deer are taken at.

Using 200 and 220 grain bullets in a 30-06 is a bad idea because the bullets won't expand for lack of energy from the30-06. 180 grains should be max bullet weight for a 30-06. The 30-06 performs best with bullets from 150 to 165 grains using the copper expanding bullets and never should be used any brand of lead core bullets.

I've been hunting with the 30-06 for many years, as did my uncles. And, have dropped many deer in their tracks in that time. I'm really surprised that the 165 or 168 grain bullets were not mentioned. Of all the bullet grains I've tried over the years, it seems to be the most lethal for quick kill drop in their tracks shots. Especially, in the Accubond or Partition that Nosler makes. I'm not really a fan of the SST bullets, as I have seen them blow up in a shoulder and not exit. And, if you end up having to track one, the blood trail isn't very good. Anyway, that's what I've experienced over the years.

You should know Nosler changed the partition to shed off the noise of the bullet making a stubby blunt FMJ . I learned this at the worst time after my client put 9 300-win mag bullets into an 1400-pound Alaska brown bear then I started shooting the 338-win mag I loaded 225 grain Nosler partitions. The freaking 5 338 bullets blew the noises off not even going inside the bears rib cage. The bear jumped into the river and in such bad shape after being hit 15 time the bear drowned to death. That ended all my using any kind of lead core bullets then made me exclusively use the Barns TSX bullets for all my rifles .

I find the claim of 3000 FPS with a 168 grain to be dubious at best. That is approaching 300 Mag territory. I have 3 30-06 rifles, make my own loads for them and have chronographed several 06 loads, all with 24" barrels. If Buffalo bore is getting that kind of velocity then they are running their ammo over pressure. You cant cheat physics.

Buffalo Bore isn't the only 165 grain 30-06 ammo firing at around that 3000fps mark. Hornady Superformance in their 165 CX & SST's are both at that range. I have chronographed and seen those results lol. So, your particular physics are wrong lol.

My rifle is a Husqvarna 6.5x55 SE which is all the rifle needed for anything I am likely to encounter. Giant .30 caliber really heavy bullets offer punishing recoil are an American Mindset. Bigger is NOT necessarily better. What is important is Ballistic Coefficient and Sectional Density. Frankly my 6.5x55 SE will out shoot the venerable 30/06 on any North American game including the Alaskan Brown Bear. I haven't hunted Woodland Caribou or Elk in many years but I do remember how easily my rifle dispatched very large game animals at reasonably long distances. 160 gr.

The 06 (pronounced Aught, an old time way of saying "zero") in 30-06 is in reference to the year it was designed and adopted by the U.S. military, whereas .308 refers to the bullet diameter.

125 grain .30-06 loads are next to useless, especially with a fast expanding poor penetrating SST. The 150 grain Fusion is one of the typically good "all-arounders" in the .30-06. The Barnes 168 grain is excellent - no question. If you had to have just one load, it may be it. The 180 grain Accubond may very well be the ultimate all around load in the .30-06. Living in northern Canada, I see this load all over the place - because it just plain works. The Accubond or Partitions may be the ultimate hunting bullets.

Funny, I've been shooting 165gr sst"s for last 12 years up here in Canada. Lost count of how many dig whitetails and mule deer I've taken with my 30-06, not too mention 7 big Canadian moose and 5 elk, one shot one kill. Not bad for a poor penetrating fast expanding bullet, wouldn't you say?

I've shot: 3x3 Mule deer @ 387 yards (Chocolate) Black Bear @ 370 yards 5x4 Whitetail @ 340 yards all with those "fast expanding poor penetrating" SST's in Hornady Supeformance 150 grain. Those rounds fly faster, hit harder, have less drop, and less wind deflection than Remington Core-Lokt PSP in 300 Win Mag and 7mm Rem Mag. All rounds in 150 grain for a fair comparison. They turned my Browning X-Bolt Stalker Long Range into a "light magnum."

Can .3006 take down animals like elephant, lion and tigers??? If yes..which bullet is ideal? 180 grains or something else?? Please reply .

30-06 has been used in the past on elephants. Nowadays, I don’t think many guides would take kindly to you bringing a 30-06 on an elephant hunt. You could get away with it for lions though, with the right bullet within reasonable distance.

@@achawakwangsa9875 Under no circumstance should you use 30-06 for elephant. Just so we’re clear. For other game, find a bullet your rifles likes and go from there. Doesn’t matter what load people recommend if your gun doesn’t group it well. That being said, Barnes, Nosler, and Federal all make good ammo. Try those first.

125 grain SST's on big game? Maybe whitetail, but definitely not big game

That picture in your video is not a 30-06. Looks like a 6mm something.

it's too bad that you don't know that the bullet measures 308. 30 caliber is 308. genius

Good info but we don't need live killing shot videos. Ethical hunters dont highlight or get excited to see death of these great animals.

You know it’s going to be a particularly bad video when the cartridge in the thumbnail doesn’t match the cartridge that’s the topic of the video 🤦♂️
