Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Partition, 30-06, 165 vs 180 for all-around?

I had the same thought as you except mine was 25 years ago. My rifle picked the 180 grain bullet. Instead of the Nolser, I use a Hornady "interlock". Works like a dream on everything I've hunted----lots of elk, muleys, whitetail, bighorn sheep, antelope, mtn goat, mtn lion, a couple black bears & this a WY moose.
You can't go wrong with the 180 grain. My load is 56 grains of IMR 4350 & Winchester primers. Good hunting. CB
