Federal Premiun with Trophy Bonded Tip.
Provided they shoot in your gun...

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Some of my rifles like Winchester Supreme Accubonds and others like Federal Premium Partitions.
Their owner likes them both.....except for the price tag sticker.
Shoot Strait....Penetrate Deep.

Pick up a few boxes of good ammo like the ones everyone has listed in this run and see what your gun likes best. I have a Tikka in .280 Rem that keep pretty much anything i run through it at about an inch. Feed it 150gr Core-locts and it tightens down to about a 1/2 group. I consider myself lucky, they're affordable, the small groups make me confident with the rifle and the bullets have performed perfectly on deer, antelope, elk and oryx (very tough). Core-locts, Noslers, Barnes seem to please.

Hard to beat Federal Premiums with either Nosler Partitions or Barnes TSX's. +1, w/o a doubt...........the Fed stuff with the TBBC tipped bullet should be good too, but I've only used the old version, with complete satisfaction. MM

Nosler Custom Ammo has been excellent.
Federal Premium is top shelf too.

Federal Premium ammo has the reputation of being the best off-the-shelf ammo available. The 150 grain Sierra GameKing BTSP will consistently shoot MOA in a couple of my 30-06 rifles.
I still have some Federal Premium High Energy 180 grain Nosler Partitions, which is an excellent elk round. But they are getting hard to find or even order. I wonder if they have stopped making them or just cut back?
So I have bought a box of Hornady Superformance 165 grain SST and a box of Nosler Custom 165 grain Nosler Partitions. We'll see how they work.
