Along with the Sierra's,Woodleigh makes a 220 gr bullet that might fit your needs.

I think my FN commercial Mauser has a 10" twist. I'll find out.

Thanks for those who helped. I haven't made a decision yet. Although I don't believe anyone mentioned them, I'm seriously considering Hawks, or Partitions.
Angus has graciously offered some bullets to try. After trying them I'll make up my mind.
Thanks again,captdavid

Sorry perry, after checking, you did mention Hawks captdavid

"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.

If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!

IMO,the 220 gr Partitions are for really big game,like the big bears or moose etc...

You could just double tap them with 110gr Barnes TTSX's

Seriously, WT's will probably drop faster with lighter '06 bullets. They're moving faster, expanding better, messing up more vital tissue.

I've posted how impressive I've been chest shooting WT's with the 130 gr. Hornady at 3,100+ fps. Good exit, lots of tissue damage, bleeding from entrance and exit wounds, mostly DRT. I'd be surprised if a 220 would do that, same hit.

I've used 220gr Core-lokt(s) in my '06 HVA Lightweight. They were punishing on the shooter (me). If your looking to harvest does 2x at a time and can line'em up broadside, 220(s) would be a decent choice.

Ahhh...

Another bonus, lighter bullets kick less, sometimes a LOT less...

So, if lighter recoil leads to better bullet placement, lighter bullets could end up being much more lethal.

Yep another vote for the Sierras 220 gr . For the deer I killed with them out of an .06 they worked great

I too, had a Husqvarna Lightweight .30-06. And 220's were absolutely punishing out of that gun!

This LW HVA is the reason I started light, 130's. They shot so well, I never looked back.

My son has the HVA lightweight now and he's tired of the recoil so he put it out on Armslist. I hate to see it go but I don't want to shoot it either.

HVA's also have 1-12" twists and not 220 works in them.

I've owned 2 in 30/06. One is in the link above and the other became a 7x57

I only use 220 RN's in .30 US Army ctgs.

Has he tried lighter bullets?

Turns an '06 into another gun...

He's all about his Armalite AR-15 and his Weatherby Vanguard 6.5 Creedmoor now. I don't think he much cares about light bullets in a .30-06. All he shoots are heavy for caliber , high bc bullets.

My thinking on light '06 bullets is an effective deer killer that doesn't stomp the shooter.

To me, not so much for LR shooting, more for WT's within 300 yds or so.

I have other rounds for going long. Most deer shot at less than LR.

Not to get too far off topic, but I attribute much of the HVA's felt recoil to the stock's design. They have lots of drop and seem best suited to irons. I've considered attempting to bend it like you would a shotgun stock with heat lamps, mineral oil, and rags.
