Would you call a 30-06 with a Nosler 180 gr Nosler Partition a "Perfect" round for Vancouver Island Black bear, Elk, and Free Range Audads. Look forward to your response. Thanks in advance, W. (trying to decide to keep my Remington 700 rifle for these hunts, or buy a TC Encore 300 WIN MAG) | ||

Absolutely. The WM is overkill. Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

That caliber and load will serve you extremely well. There is no such thing as "perfect" in the gun/hunting world, but that combo doesn't miss it by much for the species you have listed.

Although I prefer the 200 gr. Nosler and can drive it at the same 2700 FPS with a handload, I think the 180 gr. Nosler at 2700 FPS in the 30-06 is a dandy and I used it for about 40 years with 100% success, until one day I hunted with the 200 gr. Nosler and got the impression it was just more of a good thing... Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

You BET! That is what I use for elk, goat, and deer, and whatever else gets in the way of the crosshairs. I am getting 2740 fps out of my 24" bbl. and my last goup was less than .75 inch. You don't need a .300 mag, just good familiarity with the gun to hit what you aim at. Good hunting, Graham | |||

My primary elk rifle/cartridge is definitely "over kill" in a 338-378 Wby using 225 grain TSXs. My backup rifle/cartridge however is my trusty '06 using either 180 grain partitions or TSXs. It's a fine, accurate round that is more then up to the task. Ken.... "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so.
