Best Uses

Moose, elk and big-bodied deer are the targets here. A heavy soft point gives deep penetration without the cost of premium bonded or copper bullets. Lapua Mega 30-06 Springfield 185 grain rounds are a good fit for hunters in thick timber, where shots are close and game may be quartering. Zero before opening day. Then shoot a few rounds from field positions. If you want still more weight, the 200-grain Mega is the next step. For practice, a cheaper soft point will save your hunting ammo.

FAQ

What grain 30-06 for elk?
Many elk hunters use 165 to 200 grains. A 185-grain soft point sits near the middle of that range.

Is Lapua Mega ammo lead-free?
No. This load is listed as not lead-free. It uses a lead-core soft point bullet. If you hunt in a non-lead area, pick a copper bullet instead.

How far can a 30-06 bullet travel?
A 30-06 bullet can fly for miles if it is fired upward. Shoot only with a safe backstop, and never fire at a target on a ridge line.

Can you reload Lapua 30-06 brass?
Yes. The brass cases use Boxer primers and are listed as reloadable. Handloaders often like Lapua brass for its long case life.
