A 200gr Nosler Partition at 2700 fps...that sounds pretty good. Sounds good enough for sure..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I'm a big fan of the 190gr hornady whenever I get a 06 be the first bullet I try.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

I'm currently using Federal HE. I haven't gotten around to sitting down and trying to duplicate it at the reloading bench yet as I have other priorities at the moment.

Or best yet.. run the 30-06 brass through my 338-06 size die. LOL
I have not been happy with 180 partitions in my 300 wtby, John says I would be much happier with 200s there. A stouter bullet.
But since the advent of Barnes, thats the route I"d most likely take.

I have a box of a 100pc of 180gr and 220gr Core-Lokt, I thought about giving them a shot and pick up a pack of 200gr NP.

Been loading 180 swift Sciroccos in my brothers 30-06 to just over 2900 fps with rl-17 and he has great results on game and shoots 3 shots touching out of his Forbes 24" barrel. But phil's 200 Npt load is attractive and I run that same bullet at 2550 out of my 20" barrel .308.

Is a 180 grain insufficient for moose, are these loads with 225 grain bullets for the most part Brown bear loads?

There's nothing wrong with 180's for moose (Partition here) 180 Woodleigh didn't cause much suffering either� The 220 Core-lokt works even when it tumbles some. Heck, I've even killed a couple with the 190 Interlocks 79S remarked on.

I've had good luck with R-22 in my M700 and any 180-200gr bullet I stick in it. Load workup has been finding where the lands are, picking a seating depth to start, picking a charge of 22 over a 215, shooting tight group, loading up enough to hunt with. Three totally different bullets in a row have worked out just exactly like that. 58gr with 200's to 60 with 180's. Not top end loads, but velocities have been right where I expected, with consistency and accuracy to spare.

For deer, antelope and miscellaneous medium size critters I use factory loads Federal Premium 30-06, 150 grain Sierra Game King BTSP at 2,910fps. Real accurate in my rifle.
For larger critters I use 180 grain Nosler Partitions with Spitzer points, 61 grains RL22, 2,880 fps. The trajectories are close enough that I can switch loads without adjusting my scope.
Actually I have pretty much stopped using the 150s because I bought a new 25-06 that I love.

If I could only get one bullet weight for my '06s, premium or c&c, it would be the 180. 165 would be second choice.. I really don't like the 150s I'm now using, which are performing beyond reproach..... Lordy, I hate that...

JJ Hack seems to be a pretty big fan of the Barnes 165 TSX for an all-around load in the -06.

I load a 165 Interlock over 57 grains of IMR 4350. Does most anything.
A 180 Nosler over RL22 or H1000 in 300WM does alot of work.
In 338, a 225IB over RL22 was used on my last bear. Performed well and very accurate. Could be used for most anything, so that would be my pick for a one gun/one round KISS plan.
