I don't have much hunting experience with the 30-06 having own just two in my life a M-70 and a sako carbine. But I did take the Winchester Elk hunting some, it shot 165 gr TBBC loads from federal very very well so well you could cover the group with a quarter at 200 yards. The Elk never cared, they just fell over. So yea a good 165 gr Bullet will do fine on Kudu. I only had the chance to hunt those once a long time ago. What ever shoots best in your rifle. After all its you who is writing the check for it. My opinion on this is just that an opinion based on what I have seen over the years nothing more.
