Barnes. 165

for me one of the most consistent bullets for accuracy 160 gr. Hammer Hunter copper bullets , plus the great thing they seem to always have them on hand and ship fast too. i have a 1-10 twist rifle. good luck with your choice,Pete53

I concur - about as K.I.S.S. as it gets.

I use big game and have good results with 165 hornady sp. Any heavier in a 30-06 I’d go hunter for powder. Use mag primers! Great velocity and accuracy with that combo.

Inexpensive 150gr spitzers and a premium 165-180 grain will cover a huge spectrum. Start with H4350 and Varget (or H4895, if it really exists). Work out your best loads first, then stockpile.

Barnes 130 TTSx for 308 and Barnes 168 TTSX for 30-06, or NP150 for 308 and NP 165 for 30-06 whichever groups best

Similar to others who have posted - a 165gr of some sort; Hornady, Barnes, Nosler, Speer... Varget for the .308, 4350 for the '06.

165 Hornady with IMR4064.

165 grn Hornady Interlock SP, Varget.

Like several others have said: use 165 grain bullets ( I use Hornady) and 57 grains of 4350 especially in a 30/06. Use the same in .308. I use and prefer .30 caliber. I have both, one a 1984 Winchester Model 70 Carbine and a tanger Ruger M 77 RSI in 308. I’ve had both rifles since 1977 or so. Most any 30/06 will shoot the above load accurately. It’s a load that has been around forever and I’ve seen it listed here numerous times. It simplifies things.

130 or 150 TTSX in a solid, or 165 Interlock for cup and core. Powder would be whatever your rifles shoot best with these projectiles, at your chosen velocity.
