I did an interesting test with the 06 during a cull hunt. Shot 50 wildes. Used: 180 Swift A-frame 180 Swift Sirocco 180 Sierra Pro Hunter 200 Nosler Partition 240 Woodleigh SP Shot 5, recorded results and changed ammo. Result, all 50 died with one shot. A-frame pass thrus 100%...

I get your PH stock reply of 180 grain Swift A Frame as the preferred choice. This bonded, partitioned lead core bullet is the standard which other bullets are judged. I have culled a lot of animals in Africa with this bullet. That being said, the all copper Barnes is a different animal. The...

It is a great performing load. I was on a culling exercise several years ago in Namibia and used it to shoot a lot of gemsbok. Worked perfectly.

US dollars are expected and will be appreciated.

What a great man. Enjoyed spending many evenings out on his deck, sipping beverages.

Lefty here. Todd Rameriz built my 30-06. It has been whacking deer, elk and all sizes of African game for many years.,

1/10 twist Pacnor barrel. 0.5 MOA groups. Whitetail is easy. They penetrate/exit 99.5% of the time and the deer never take a step. Elk are a little more tricky. I am pretty careful to place bullet behind the shoulder and let the energy wipe out the heart/lungs. They will exit 90% of the...

I use the 110 grain TTSX in my Todd Rameriz 30-06. Loaded to 3500 fps. It is a lightning bolt on whitetail deer and elk. Have used for many years and 250+ animals while culling for ranches. In the culling game, both here in America and Africa, tracking is not part of the game plan. I need...

A fellow lefty and experienced in exchanging left hand, best quality rifles for cash. It takes a long time and the resulting price is far below what a righty will command. I still have some best quality rifles and shotgun sets that will trade for a fraction of what I paid to have built. Just...

I change my EDC depending on where I'm going, which one shot the best for me lately, printing and general convenience. Most days I carry a Glock 30S with a Vanguard Raven trigger guard/wing/wedge. It is my truck gun and I just grab it when I get out. I have a couple of LW Commanders built for...

I would contact Todd Ramirez. Custom rifle maker who does custom heirloom quality work.

Lots of good choices out there. Can't go wrong with the 180 grain A-frame or Scirocco. I have shot a lot of wildes, zebra, gemsbok, etc... on culling missions with those two bullets in the '06. Accubonds, Partitions, Norma Oryx, and others have worked just as well. I have been extremely...

Thanks for reaching out. After languishing on the market during COVID, I received multiple offers in 2023 and the gun has been sold.

I have killed a lot of them in Texas. They are tough but not bulletproof. Out of the boxes you presented, I would use the Interlock or GameKing. I use the 55 grain .223 Interlock a lot in culling and they punch right thru whitetail deer. It is a pretty tough cup/core bullet. I get great...
