OK,another OtterSix thread Yeah! At any rate,I have a question for all you .30 Otter men. If you were limited to the 30/06 for antlered game in big bear country. What bullet would you handload to give the best results both as a deer/moose round as well a Griz protection?

The 220 grain Partition certainly comes to mind.

180 TSX
180 Failsafe
180 Partition Gold
200 Partition
Trying to make this decision right now. Can't get my new '06 to shoot the TTSX, so It'll probably be the 200 NPT.

I figured the big Partitions would come to the surface along with the TSXs. I just loaded up a few 180gr Grand Slams over Superformance. Not sure how it will work out,but had to try.

220gn Woodleigh
200gn or 220gn Partition
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

Two bullets that come immediately to mind are the 180 and the 200 Partition.

Nothing like Alaska or the Yukon, but we've a big bear or two up here.  I do most all of my elk, sheep, and whatever hunting with a 3o-o6 M7o shooting 168 TSX over H4350. Never lost any sleep toting that combo into the backcountry.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

220gn Woodleigh
200gn or 220gn Partition I just went over to the Woodleigh site for a look around. Impressive. Could be a little much as an all around bullet though. How are they on the lighter skinned critters?

If Antlered game is the main course, the Nosler 180 accubond would warrant serious consideration in my selection.

I ran 200gr Partitions but that was back in the day. Today I'd load 168gr TSX's.

180's will kill anything with antlers,but i'd feel undergunned against against any of the big bears with anything from a 06.Imagine going in a dense thicket after a marginaly hit 9' bear.

Tough to beat the 220 gr Partition for big bears, a good 200 gr slug would also be good.
