My dad was an Alaskan bush pilot, in the mid to late 1960's. He told me that the 06/220 grain combo was very common, back then. A "poor man's" 375 H&H was the way he put it. MANY moose and brown bear taken with that combination.
I have a ruger 77/30-06 that will put them dead on at 100 yards, when 165 grain accubonds are sighted 2.5" high at the same distance. I use it as a 500 yard clear cut rifle with the accubonds, then switch to 220's, when stalking timber/bedding areas here in Idaho. The leupold 6x42 with the long range duplex makes it simple, and a true "all around rifle"!
