I am going to load some new hunting rounds for my 30.06, probably in 150 grain as I have had success with that grain in various brands. I have a box of Sierra GK 150's and was going to find a load for that round but after doing some research it appears that there are mixed reviews on this round exploding and leaving no exit hole. I live in the thickets of NC where the woods are tight. Never shot a deer over 80 yards. I need a good blood trail to recover deer in the thickets. I shot a bear with my muzzleloader this year using Hornady SST rounds and I shot a doe with my father's .35 Remington with SST rounds three days ago. Both left huge entry and exit holes. I could put my fist through the exit hole in the doe. I am very impressed. I am wondering what your opinion is. Should I switch to the SST rounds in my 30.06?
