Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska What are is your favorite 30-06 hunting load?

For Deer I like 55 grs of 4895 and a 150gr bullet, and am now looking at the Ttsx. Kills like lightening on deer and such. For bigger stuff, but also deer, the 165gr Ttsx or Nosler partition and 60grs of IMR 4350 SC. The 150 gr load chronographs at 3000 fps and the 165 at 2800 even. I used the 165gr load in Africa to take an Eland with. Hit behind the left ribs and went clear to the right shoulder. Think the Ttsx will do the same. Wife killed 2 Kudu, an Oryx and a Zebra with one shot each using that load. Before anyone hollers "hot" , don't. Check the loading manuals, these are in some, but been so long since I looked at them for this load, been using it since 1972, but with the Nosler partition at the time, that I don't recall which manual it's in.
