Best Uses

Pick this load for large, tough animals at moderate range. Moose, elk and big bears are the usual game. The heavy 200-grain bullet trades some speed for mass, which helps it push through thick hide and bone. Lapua Mega 30-06 200 grain rounds are a good fit for timber hunts where shots are close. Expect a bit more recoil than lighter loads. Zero with this box before the season and check your drop past 200 yards. For a slightly lighter version, look at the 185-grain Mega.
