Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Bullet suggestion for extra large Canadian Whitetails?

I would like some bullets and weights? I know what powder my 30-06 likes. I also think that the monoliths are not required and possible the bonded bullets are a better choice. I shoot from 50 yards to 300 yards. If they run to far it is tough to find them in the wet brushy swamp. Thoughts? Thanks Buckfever1

150 gr, TSX or a 165gr anything else.

If std C&C in the 165 gr -180 gr weight calss will kill elk,they will sure as heck kill deer,but guaranteed several will chime in you have to have TSX , TTSX or the ilk.

Ir really does not matter too much which exact bullet you use,assuming it is designed for big game and in the proper weight class.Hit them in the wrong spot and they run off.Hit them in the right spot and they die pretty quick.There isn't any silver bullet to stop them running.Std plain jane Rem Cor-Loks have been killing big deer and elk for years and there isn't anything special about them, except they work.

If you are really worried, use something like a 165 gr Nosler Partition.Other wise, pick one that shoots well in your particular rifle. Those deer do not have Kevlar hides.

Any standard bullet should be fine and I would shoot 180's...not that 150's or 165's wouldn't do just as well.

150 grain TTSX

I run them through my 06.

165gr Sierra HPBT

180 Noz Pt and 4350 of one sort or another

Whens your trip?

It's hard to find something better than a good standard bullet like a 165 Hornady.

I run the 150 TSX with H4350 at just under 3000 fps, but not because I need them.

Dat one.

Probably doesn't matter - they are no tougher than any other deer. I prefer TSX bullets on deer as they don't frag and ruin a bunch of meat. Accubonds or partitions would be a close second.

I won't shoot coreloks anymore after having a 180 grain out of a .300 Win blow up on the shoulder of an elk at 200 yards.

Corelok are not especially designed for 300 mag velocities

Nor are whitetails as big as elk...

i'd go 150 accubond...

165 Hornady Interlock w/ 54 grs of IMR 4350= DRT Whitetail or one that is leaving a good blood trail.

In 30/06....165 gr Nosler Partition.

Nothing will kill them any quicker.

150 to 165 and while not required I would try the tipped Barnes first...

This.

130gr TTSX would be fun. Works great out of the .308!

I agree with you on the bonded bullets and it would be hard to beat a 165 grain Nosler Accubond for those big Northern Whitetails..........Good luck...........Hb

For sure...Works like a champ...
