Best hunting bullet and best B.C. are often at odds with each other.


My .30-06 rifles get loaded with the following:
165g North Fork SS (B.C. unknown) - no longer available but I still have a good supply
168g TTSX (B.C. .470 claimed)
150g Nosler BT and AB (B.C, .435 claimed)

Since we don't shoot past 600 yards, B.C. is a secondary consideration.

If working up new loads, I'd look at these:
168g Nosler AccuBond LR (B.C. .525)
175g Federal Terminal Ascent (B.C. .536)
175g Barnes LRX (B.C. ,508)

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
