So, I've been looking for one bullet to do everything out of a 30-06. My everything will include whitetail, mule deer, elk, and maybe the occasional black bear.
I like heavy bullets, especially 200 grain. I wouldn't object to shooting down to a 165 either.
Played with some 200 partitions today. Best group was all 3 bullets touching in one big ragged hole. Velocity was right at 2500 fps. This is a 22" barrel.
What do you guys like, for a one bullet in the ole 06'?

165 grain Hornady Spire point. I doubt many people have killed more game with one bullet...

180 Partition seems to get the nod so far.
Is there an advantage over the 180 Accubond?

Beating a dead horse here:
180 partition
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I'm going to be trying the 180 gr Accubond in my new '06 but am also considering the 165 gr Swift Scirocco. There are so many great bullets out there it is hard to decide sometimes  Think I'm going to order up a few 165 gr Hot Cor's as well for practice.

My favorite is the now defunct Hornady 190 gr. BTSP. The 180's aren't too shabby either.

I did this 20 years ago. I use a 180 grain Hornady interloc spire point. Bullet #3070----killed everything in the lower 48,---moose, elk, deer, black bear, bighorn sheep, mtn goat, cougar and antelope. I sight it in 2" high @ 100 yards and go hunt.

That makes too much sense. Turn in your Loony Card.
