What's your favorite 30-06 load for deer?

[UltraMax]

$17 a box 150 grain Winchester Power Point factory loads shoot dang near the same hole at 100 and always have. And on deer they are nasty.

Any 150 to 180 gr. cup and core bullet will kill deer with boring repeatability at 30-06 velocities. Find a factory load your rifle likes. I have been partial to the hornady interlock, but they aren't the only one that works. If you want to use more expensive premium bullets, they will kill them too. Shoulder or vitals, they should go right through, and cause enough damage to leave a good blood trail if they dont fall right there, it happens sometimes, even with textbook perfect shot placement.

150 corelokt or interlocked.

Gonna have to look this weekend.

165gn SGK and I forget the powder charge.


My Grandpa worked up the load before I was born, and it still works today.

150 gr. Corelokts are what my rifle likes best. Never had a problem with them.

Winchester silver tips, that's all I've ever used in mine.

Hornady Superformance 165 grain SST does a good job.
