Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa 30-06 in Africa

I always loved the 200gr in any 30-06 I've had! Only one's I've used/loaded for were the Sierra 200 SBT, the Speer 200HC and my favorite, the Nosler 200 partition. Biggest Barnes I've ever used in any 30-06 is the 165/168. SE Texas deer/hogs it seemed the best was Hornady 150, Sierra 150 SBT and my favorite, the Sierra 165 SBT. I loaded a bunch of Nosler 125 BT for a friend who used it on Yakima who used it on Blacktail, coyote and Rock chucks. The 308 is just as good for about 95% of what we use a 30-06 for! I personally can't think of anything I have ever killed that I could not have used a good 30-06 on, that's how much confidence I have in the old warhorse! I don't have one now, a Kimber 300WSM takes its place. However, I never would have owned the Kimber 8400 Classic IF I could have ever got my hands on an 84L Kimber Classic with dark French Walnut! I had an 84L in .270 awhile, tricked it out, then gave it to my Grand Daughter, ha. I would still zero it for Africa at +1" @ 100. Hold on hair my friend! Have a ball!
