Whats the best round for deer?

i have a 30-06 and i want to know what the best type of ammo is to useWhats the best round for deer?
I forget if it was me or our father who worked up a load for my little brother with the 165 grain Nosler Partition, and I've had to keep him supplied with them ever since.Whats the best round for deer?
Winchester 150 grain Power- Point bullet, 150 grain Silvertip, 165 grain Pointed Soft Point, 180 grain Power-Point, 180 grain Silvertip for Deer According to the Winchester Products Ballistics Service Manuel for 2008.* .. In Africa it has harvested Cape Buffalo using a 220 grain Barnes solid bullet penetrated over 40 inches of bone and muscle to drop the Bull Buffalo using the 30-06. An 1800Lb Bull Eland was harvested using the 180 grain AccuBond bullets starting at 3,000 feet per second, using a 26 inch barreled 30-06.*... Yes, it is more than capable of harvesting Big Game even in Africa.*
Wow there are a bunch of manly men out there wanting to use a 7mm 30-06 and big guns like that. There is no need for that. There is no need for a big wound or hole. A .223 has plenty of velocity and doesn't cause a huge wound wasting a bunch of meat. Core lock light as you can find will travel fast and and do all you need it to. Distance, wind, altitude and many other factors contribute to the difference in need for different bullets. 100 or 200 yard shots don't have to be that big. Take your time and wait for proper shot placement. Technically a bb double lunging the animal and nicking the heart would be best right?
I hope you have already found which grain gives the tightest grouping for your 06 barrel then i would recommend any soft point bullet or remington core Lokt for short to medium range targets and ballastic tip/Full metal jacket for long ranges of the same grain that your rifle shoots the BEST.
I hand load so I'm lucky, but normally 165 grain Remington Core-lokt or something similar works just fine for a 3 shot group accuracy of less than 2 inches at 100 yards. You may need to try a few to get better accuracy, but again, if you can put 5 shots within 3 inches at 100 yards be happy with the factory ammo. I Zero at 200 yards, so your 100 yard group should be 1.75 high to be on at 200 yards.


EDIT: Always try to get a BONDED bullet for deer and other big game.





EDIT: I have groups of 5 shots from my Browning A-Bolt that I can cover with a quarter at 100 yards just using a sandbag rest. With reloading I can choose Swift Sirocco, Barnes TSXs,Nosler Accubond or Partitions,Sierra GameKing,etc. I have read a lot of bullet reviews, and comparative articles, plus 35 years of hunting experience.
Springfield silvertips 180GR dropped my deer before he even saw it coming.
7mm right in the head or a 30-30 then maybe 30-06.


p.s I think the best part of hunting deer is when you can kill more than one with one shot.
You want a rapid expanding round, soft point works best. It will create a larger wound.
180 grain hornadys
150 gr to 170
7mm remington is a good shot
