I'm a firm believer in the 165 grain and 150 grain offerings in 30-06. We take nearly all of our deer here with them. I used to worship at the 180 grain shrine, but I found these lightweights offered as good performance with a lot less recoil and have stuck with them for the past 16 seasons.
The move to the 165 grainers was precipitated by the suggestions of folks on this august forum. Personally, I'd save the 220 grainers for bigger things besides deer.
