Yup. I don't know anybody anymore who uses round nose bullets in their 30-06 here in PA.
Every year. I meet nonresident elk hunters here from MN, WI, and PA. Most are carrying a Remington pump or semi rifle in either 30-0 6 or 35 Whelen. A whole lot of them are using 220 gr RN in their .06.They tell me that is what they use for deer.Most of these guys are older though.Younger guys use the super duper shoulder throbbing magums. I use 220gr RN for elk if I know I will be shooting close

Somewhere back around 1992 I went into my LGS and asked for a box of Remington Aught-Six 220's. The shop owner loudly exclaimed "220 GRAINS! WHAT DO YOU WANT THEM FOR?" To which i answered " for bear."
He then said he used to have three boxes but he had to give them away because nobody would buy them.
