Used 130gr Speer HP and 155 Amax when I had one.
The 130 speers were my favourite for normal hunting ranges.
Heaps to choose from.

I used boring old 150 interloc for years, always penetrated and expanded well.
Started shooting a bit further and went to sst. Spos to be interloc with a tip for better bc. Well it is but that tip makes them much more explody. I loved them for the first 17 odd deer then one roar I had 3 blow up on two stags a week apart. Vowed never to use them again, in retrospect this was probably a bit harsh. I think the 165 sst would make a good 0-500y projectile with its higher sd and lower launch velocity giving more controlled expansion up close.
But i never tried the 165 i spat the dummy in my quest for a do all bullet and run 130 Barnes for 0-350 odd and 168 amax +200 and they both give performance I like at those ranges.
Got a box of 178 amaxes to try figuring higher sd and lower launch could make this a do all bullet for me but i am yet to work up a load and the way future supply looks it might be a while.
Ideal bullet performance on game is as personal as the ideal shape of a girls behind.
If your shooting inside 300 od yards 150 interlock or 130 Barnes won't let you down.

Well bugger me I bought a 30.06 that's been sitting on the second hand rack for some time, well over a year.
Everyone told me the 30 06 wasn't a patch on the 308 for accuracy.
Damn , somebody should have told this rifle.

From what I can gather Cam, the 06 is a bit under rated here,.
