Best Uses

Heavy copper bullets are penetration tools. Use this box to zero, check your drops and shoot a few rounds from field rests. The 180-grain TSX keeps its weight as it opens, which suits big animals and hard angles. It is more than most whitetail need, but it will do the job. Hunters in lead-free zones who chase elk or moose with a 30-06 often land on this weight. Carry Federal Barnes TSX 30-06 180 grain when the animal is big and the country calls for a copper bullet.

FAQ

Is 180 grain TSX good for elk?
Yes. The 180-grain TSX is a common lead-free elk bullet in 30-06. It penetrates deeply and holds its weight, so aim for the vitals and keep ranges sensible.

How much does a 30-06 bullet drop at 200 yards?
It depends on the load and your zero. Heavy 180-grain loads drop more than light ones. Test your own rifle, or see the drop tables in our ballistic guide.

Are copper bullets hard on barrels?
Copper can leave more fouling in some barrels. A copper solvent during normal cleaning keeps it under control. It does not harm a quality barrel.

Is 30-06 bigger than 308?
The 30-06 has a longer case than the 308 Winchester and holds more powder. Both shoot .308-inch bullets.
