30 06 on Blue Wildebeest

I used a 338win mag with 225gr A-Frames and they worked great on a couple of BlueWB and a BlackWB.
In a 30-06 (which I did take) I would use 180gr A-Frames or 150-180gr Barnes TTSX bullets.
I would(and do) use the TTSX over the TSX in all my rifles of 25cal/6.5mm cal/7mm cal/30cal and 338cal.
My 2 Cents
 
I've shot 2. One with the PH's 270 and 150gr PMP (soft as shit) and it went down in about 100yds. The other (a monster) with my 7mm mag and 160gs A-Frame it went less than 50yds and piled up. Your 3006 with a quality 180gr like accubond, Trophy bonded etc or barnes 165 or 168 will do the job. Shot placement can't be emphasized enough. A crap shot with a 375 will fail where a great shot with a 243 will succeed
 
Culled quite a lot of them with 7x64 7mm rem mag 30.06 and 8mm rem mag ....the 8mm with woodleigh 250gr was marginally better but the margin was small ........Wildebeest born sick and improve with lead ......ran into a hunter who said never had a wildebeest run .......so fella pull up a chair grab a beer and tell us all about that one wildebeest you shot ........

The same can be said for archery, shot five and four ran between 40 to 80 yards but the one I shot to far back was a long track!

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
