Is there any commercially available 30-06 hunting ammo suitable for use in a Garand?
I don't reload and I am looking for a round to hunt deer / pig with a garand.
Some people have mentioned Black Hills Gold for match ammo, would their 165 Gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip ( Hunting ) Velocity 2750 FPS work? It looks like the ballistics are almost the same as their match load.
I would prefer a bullet with heavier construction than the ballistic tip, but I've heard the garand does not like any exposed lead like a soft point hunting round.
What about something loaded with the Barnes X like the Black Hills 180 Gr. Barnes X-Bullet Velocity 2650 FPS.
