this might be the wrong section but since it's related to ammo, i'll try here. I've been deer hunting since I was like 13 or so and have always used a remingtion 7400 carbine. Me and my dad use this remingtion load from walmart in both 180gr and 150gr if I'm correct. It has a brass-like ballistic tip. in about 2000 or so they stop carrying it. I could not find them anywhere. don't know if it's discontinued or not but this bullet has never let me down. it literally blew a big hole through the poor deer. NEVER have i had a deer run on me. we started using the remington core-loks afterwards and even with a well placed shot, they tend to run from time to time. we tried the winchester silver case with black jacket and white tip but it doesn't perform like the remingtons did.
Does anyone recall using the same bullet? are they really discontinued? I can imagine why. I'll try to load up a picture later. I tell my hunting friends about it but they don't seem to believe me. I still have like a hand full left in my collection but it's become a jewel. part number would be nice, or something factory that performs the same. i no longer use the 30-06 but it will be a gift for my older brother who is new to the sport.
