Nosler says that beginning with the 30 caliber 180-gr. Ballistic Tips (and larger), the jacket's profile is changed or upgraded to a much stronger contour similar to the AccuBond (shown below). The lead core is also hardened over the 165-gr. and below bullets. Lighter weight bullets like...

Just out of curiosity: Who has first-hand experience with harvesting elk or moose with Nosler's Ballistic Tip - and - how did the bullet perform? Steve P.S. My preference in 30-06 is 180-gr. High Energy Partitions at 2,890 fps or 180-gr. AccuBonds at 2,750 fps.

Rick: You're exactly right! Experts who frequent this good Forum would understand that one must compare the same weight / size of bullet between calibers to equal the playing field. I believe I made a mistake in the wording of whom the post was directed towards, especially since my intention...

What do you folks think of the newer Winchester Model 70's? I am considering a 30-06 rifle for my son. It's Super Shadow composite model with a 24" barrel and Controlled Round Push Feed (CRPF) Mauser style action, with sling, and Simmons 8 Point 3-9X40 Scope at Walmart for only $398. (Note...

30-06 Remingtons in 700 SPS Stainless 24" barrel and 7400 semi-auto with 180-gr. factory loads. * Deer: Ballistic Tip, Solid Base, & AccuBond * Elk: Partition & AccuBond * Practice: Solid Base & Ballistic Tip

In looking at / reading about the Solid Base (SB) and Ballistic Tip (BT), I get the impression that the percentage of alloy is about the same at around 3% and the SB mainly differs due to the exposed lead tip. BC's are somewhat close as well; .491 (SB) versus 507 (BT).

Summary of 30-06 versus 300 Win Mag using more efficient bullets: At short ranges with standard bullets, the 300 Win Mag clearly has the edge, but at longer ranges around 250 - 300 yards, the 30-06 shooting higher BC bullets pass the Win Mag in performance. At 300 yards, a Power Point has...
