    Superformance works well with the 178 gr eldx if you can source some.

    Yes this, in my 30 284 (ballistic twin to 30-06) superformance and a 178 amax (or eldm) was magic from 0-600y

    any hunting bullet with a decent bc will do that sort of distance from a 30-06
    doesn't need to be a match bullet

    try the speer gold dot they have a stunning bc for a soft point hunting bullet
    kill awsome too

    yet to meet a rifle that doesn't like them ether

    Have to laugh this thread answer most of the other threads on here.
    A 30-06 appears to do well with any powder projectile combination.
    Nothing else needed.
    I admit to being slightly biased.
