NitroX,
I will check with my PH and see what he recommends, but looking at the variety of Federal bullets currently available (which is my brand preference), it dosen't appear that they offer a premium grade bullet in anything larger than 180 gr. Federal does offer a 200 gr and a 220 gr for the .30-06, but I fear that the lower grade bullet will actually be less effective than the 165 gr or 180 gr premium trophy bonded.
FYI..
Just read an article this morning in SportsAfield while having breakfast---where Kevin Robertson, "the magazines African Hunting authority"... a hunter heading to Africa asked if his .308W would work for plains game...Kevin's answer was Yes..he stated he like the 180's better but the 165's would be o.k.....
