There was a fellow trading in a pre 64 Winchester 70 in 30-06 on a new Sarko in 7mmRem. I struck up a conversation with him and tried to buy the 3006 but it was spoken for. Turns out he was a guide in North western Alberta , and had guided for 25 years using that same 3006. I asked him why he traded in . . He said he had been reading about the 7mm remington and just wanted to try it. I asked about the 3006 and was it effective, and what ammo did he use. He said it was mighty effective.. He used factory 180 gr silver tips and it put them down every time, whether it was deer, elk moose or grizzly bear.

Still have 100 or so of the .277 140g boat tails stashed away for cool factor. They are very accurate, just assumed they'd be a little soft on critters based on the performance in 30-30.

I loved the .300 H & H loaded with that bullet.. Some time ago I bought 500 .30 150 gr. Silvertips from a local guy.. After I got to looking at them, they are all spitzer, but some are the same as jwall pictured, others have a bigger tip.. There were like three or four variations.. Shot some deer and antelope with them, need to load some for my various .30 cal. rifles.. Molon Labe
