I am curious what senarios (conditions or game) will the 240gr 30-06 provide real value over the 200gr or even 180gr? How much penetration do you really need on the game an '06 is good for?
Good grief, I didn't know you could get a 240gr .308 caliber bullet. Can't imagine using more than a 200gr bullet in the .30-06. But I'm far more curious to know if it could be shot accurately? It will be moving awfully slow and it's an awfully long bullet I'd guess, presenting stability issues.
Woodleigh bullets. I believe with 4350 it runs just under 2300 fps. Interestingly, I noted that they have a similar speed and SD to the 375 H&H 350 gr.
Definitely short range, but I was just wondering if someone actually considered them for a particular hunt. e.g. Grizzly at 50 yards with an '06 sounds rather daring. It just seem to be a novelty.

Sure, sure. Should provide great penetration on an eland . . . or twelve.@Nicholas Barcomb, can't argue with that accuracy and if you can truly get nearly 2500fps out of it, not a bad round even for Eland at reasonable distance.
