Best Uses

Choose this box if you hunt where lead bullets are banned or restricted. Copper bullets tend to hold together and push deep, so a 180-grain copper bullet is a solid pick for elk, black bear and big deer. Zero with this exact load, since copper bullets often print in a different spot than lead-core ones. Sellier and Bellot Exergy Blue 30-06 180 grain rounds also make sense for hunters who want one box for both deer and larger game. Keep a few boxes from the same lot so your zero stays put all season.

FAQ

What grain 30-06 for deer?
Most deer hunters pick 150 to 165 grains. A 180-grain copper bullet like this one also works well on deer and adds margin for larger game.

Is 30-06 good for elk?
Yes, with a tough bullet. Copper bullets hold their weight, which helps a 180-grain 30-06 load penetrate on elk-sized animals.

Is Exergy Blue ammo lead-free?
Yes. The spec table lists Exergy Blue as lead-free with a solid copper polymer-tip bullet. Check your state’s rules for non-lead hunting zones.

Is this 30-06 ammo reloadable?
Yes. Exergy Blue uses brass cases with non-corrosive Boxer primers, and the maker marks them reloadable. Copper bullets need their own load data, so check a current manual before you reload.
