I hunt with a 30-06. I use 180 grain Nosler Partitions with Spitzer points, hand-loaded to perform like a .300 magnum (61 grains RL22 – 2,870 fps) for larger game like elk, bear, caribou, moose, etc. It might seem simpler to just use a .300 magnum but I already have the '06 and the hand-load has a trajectory that is close enough to factory loads Federal Premium 30-06, 150 grain Sierra Game King BTSP that I can switch loads and hunt medium game like deer and pronghorns without adjusting my scope.
