What would you all consider the best hunting bullet for the 30-06 that also has the best ballistic coefficient? I’m just kinda curious
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.
