1 Bullseye
I've killed caribou, kudu, oryx, zebra and wildebeest with Remington Core-Lokts out of a Winchester .30-06. All are either big (kudu and oryx) or tough (zebra and wildebeest). *I'd* probably use a heavier bullet for moose and elk if I was hunting them, but for everything else 150 grain Core-Lokts have been fine. My good friend and hunting partner uses Core-Lokts in his .300 win mag and swears by them.
Another option most people will not consider but I have to is using monolithic (copper) bullets. The Barnes TTSX appears to be an excellent performer and you don't have to worry about lead particles in your meat. I live in California and will be switching over to copper shortly, though I'm going to give the Hornady GMX a try.
