I can help with #1

I like to believe that the 165 grain bullets offer the best overall performance in the .30-06. For deer you don't really need any fancy fancy bullets and in my opinion for the cost of bonded/all copper bullets I'd rather spend the money with less expensive bullets at the range.

For the .30-06 IMR 4350 is a very very common powder and in some of my manuals is the most accurate powder tested for the 165 gain bullet weight.

I would check out the SST's, ballistic tips, and gamekings.
