Best Uses

The 180-grain weight is a classic 30-06 elk and moose choice. Copper bullets hold together, so this load is a good fit for bone-heavy game. Browning BXS 30-06 180 grain rounds also meet non-lead rules in many areas. They work well on deer, too, if you want one load for everything. Zero with this box, since copper bullets can print differently from lead-core loads. Nickel cases shrug off moisture on wet hunts. Keep two boxes from one lot for sight-in and the hunt.
