Best Uses

A 220-grain bullet is a specialty load, so zero with it and learn how it prints at your hunting ranges. It drops more at distance than a 150 or 180, so keep shots reasonable. Up close, the heavy Core-Lokt soft point gives the weight many hunters want for large, tough animals and for backup in bear country. It is also a choice for hunters in thick timber where shots come fast and short. Carry a box of Remington Core-Lokt 30-06 220 grain when the game is big and the range is modest.

FAQ

What is 220 grain 30-06 used for?
Heavy 220-grain bullets are used for large, tough game such as moose and big bears, often at close to mid range. They trade flat trajectory for deep penetration.

Is 30-06 enough for moose?
Many hunters take moose with the 30-06 using heavy, tough bullets and careful shot placement. A 180 to 220 grain soft point at modest range is a common choice.

How much does a 30-06 drop at 200 yards?
It depends on the load and your zero. A slower, heavy bullet like this 220-grain load drops more than a light, fast one. Check your own rifle on paper or use our ballistic guide.

Does a heavier bullet kick more?
Usually, yes. In the same rifle, a heavier bullet tends to produce more felt recoil. Rifle weight, stock fit and a good pad all change how it feels.
