I'm carrying 180 grain Remington Soft Point Core-Lokts in my .30-06 this deer season. It seems from reading another thread here that many of you agree with that choice (which surprises me just a little.) So, if you have actual experience with at least two weights, which one do you prefer and why? I don't have such experience and I'm interested to hear your perspectives.
(If you're carrying the 220 grain for deer hunting: I used to live up there and I know two things -- you're not hunting whitetails, and you don't want to have to share your blacktail with something "bigger" )
Recoil isn't a big consideration here. The alternative I have to use in these dense New England woods is 12 ga. 3" Brenneke slug rounds, which are no fun whatsoever at the range . . .
