I have always obsessed over the loads I use on plains game. Then, my PH buddy asked me to go out with him to fill a large order of meat he had received. I was to do the shooting with his 30/06 which was suppressed. We shot every female and youngster that we saw. Everything just fell over and I think just as quickly than anything I had ever used. Anyhow, he kept stuffing that rifle with a variety of different factory loads none of which were premium. Everything dropped at least as well as the premium bullets I used in my 270. Hard to admit but maybe a tad faster, maybe.
I left him with a large supply of 270 Fed Blue Box with 130’s and they worked really well also. I believe they are loaded with Speer Hot Cores.
Hard to admit but sometimes I think my load development is a waste of time.
