Due to the success I've had with 175 RNs in my 7x57 in killing small deer and large hogs with very little meat damage, I've decided to try something similar with my 30-06. I suspect the main reason the 7x57 works so well is that the 175RNs were made for the 7x57. I know nothing can compare to the superior 7x57. Is there a 180-220gn bullet that would perform similarly at 2400-2500fps, in my 30-06. I'm pretty sure most will be good on hogs, it's the does I'm worried about. What say yee? Thanks captdavid

"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.

If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!
