My reloads fine tuned to my 30-06 with ladder tests to reveal the most accurate combination pushing a 165 grain Nosler Partition.

180 Accubonds and 165 barnes triple shocks. The triple shocks group very nice in my gun.
Tried some 150 grain Hornady GMX. My gun didn't shoot them worth a damn. Not sure if they are too fast of a load for my 30-06 or if my barrel twist is not set up for that type of speed.....

A well constructed hunting bullet in 165gr will not steer you wrong.

I decided to try out the new federal trophy copper this year in 165 grain. They shoot well for me and performed well on an elk and mule deer, they may be a new favorite.

180 gr TTSX out of my buddies Remington 30-06 are super accurate! He has 3 deer under his belt with them this season at various ranges and they have done the trick for him.

190 gr. Hornady BTSP , good old cup and core bullets. Go were you want them to go and do EXACTLY what their meant to do when they arrive, pretty impressive BC as well.
P.S. and their cheap (er)!

Probably a good deer bullet, I wouldnt use BT's on anything bigger though. I've been using 180 grain Fusion and Winchester Powermax bonded amo. Both are cheap, shoot good from my rifle, and get good penetration. More bullet than is needed, or desirable, if you are strictly hunting deer though.

In about half a dozen 30-06 rifles, 168 gr TSX, 58 grains of H4350, federal 210m primer and an RP case works pretty much perfectly.
