Title: .30-06 round for yotes?
Post by: raekmike on January 30, 2011, 06:21:13 PM: New to dog hunting...so new in fact I haven't tried it yet.. :chuckle:

saw some older posts but wondering if there was anything new out?
Currently use 150gr core locks for deer..
Would this be fine to use? or?
New rifle is out of the question....just spent my play money on a new pistolio....

remington .30-06, 3x9x40

Post by: bobcat on January 30, 2011, 07:36:49 PM: They're not worth anything anyway. I just shot one last weekend with a 270 and a 150 grain Grand Slam. You sure don't need anything special out of the 30-06. Just use whatever you've got- preferably the same load you have it sighted in with. The 150 grain core lokt out of a 30-06 will probably make for a pretty big exit hole but if you don't care about the hides then that won't matter. For less pelt damage you'd want to go with a bullet that doesn't expand as easily like a Barnes or Nosler Partition.

Post by: AWS on January 31, 2011, 12:54:56 PM: Loading 170gr flatnose cast bullets works gread out of the 30-06 you can buy them reasonable from a comercial caster and loads are in the Lyman loading manuel. Used to use them in my 300 Savage for fox hunting in the late 70's when furs were at their highest, very little pelt damage and accurate out t 200yrds.

Post by: GWP on March 29, 2011, 12:43:09 AM: Used an '06 a lot in the 70's for Yotes. Ball or old military stuff worked good. Made a bunch of money with that one! Then I got a custom built 22-250. Small Sako action. Ohhh Yeahhh!
