I hunted with 185 gr magnum loads and regretted it. If you are not hunting elk or moose then use 150- 165 gr bullets , but mainly hunt with most accurate bullets. Tikkas are 1:11 twist in 30 cal. Use 150-180 gr bullets

I’ve had good success using Federal Fusion 180 grain in my T3 30-06. Very accurate and puts them down. Full disclosure: I haven’t had to use it past about 150 yards. This ammo doesn’t break the bank either.

I just took a deer using 165gr Barnes TSX bullet. Really nice expansion. Dropped instantly.
