I'm interested in playing with the 220 grain Sierra round nose in my .30-06 and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with that particular bullet to share. I'm interested in loading experience or field experience.
I tried the 220 grain Hornady 10 years ago in a 30-06 and was disappointed when I saw that the 165 Interlock fired from a .308 penetrated just as deep and held together better. Perhaps this Sierra might be different, perhaps not. I do think I would enjoy using 220 grain load in my 30-06 for hunting bears and moose in the brush.
