So I was curious about one thing.... but that's with an understanding of the following premise:0
- Best hunting velocity seems to be ~1600-1800 according to several forum posts I've found here. I don't know this personally.
- The 30/06 is capable of shooting a 190-210gr boolit to 2400fps (Lyman 3rd ed.)
- The best deer/elk hunting boolits have Flat Points to break bone.
I know about the Lyman 311299 and 311284.... but those are both round nose. I feel shooting a 150-170gr FN boolit for hunting deer at 1700fps performs a disservice to the case capacity of the 30/06 and I would like to find a go-to FN boolit, greater than 190gr for general deer hunting under 200 yards.
- Does such an animal exist?
- What has y'all's shooting experience been with it?
- Would a FN ~200ish grain 30 caliber boolit have stability problems at 200?
- Have any of you hunted with the #311299, #311284, or similar and found great success?
Thank you so much for your time and opinions!
