I have a 30-06 that I would like to take to Africa one day for hunting plains game. The 180 gr. bullet is generally thought of as the all round bullet weight for the 30-06. I use the Swift A-Frame 180 gr. loaded to 2700 fps. For African use I have read that the 220 gr. is the best weight to use (from John Taylor's African Rifles & Cartridges). Would it be better to use a 180 gr. Swift A-Frame @ 2700 fps. or a 220 gr. Woodleigh loaded to 2400 fps. for African plains game. If the 220 gr. Woodleighs were used, I could probably also load up some 220 gr. Barnes solids that would have a similar point of impact to the Woodleighs. With modern bullet technology, the new super premeium 180 gr bullets (A-Frame, Trophy Bonded, X-bullets, Failsafes, etc.) seem to work wonderfully on larger game. Should I stay with a premium 180 gr. bullet like the A-Frame or should I load up some 220 gr. Woodleigh Softnoses and possibly some 220 gr Barnes Solids for use in Africa? What are the pro's & con's of either bullet weight?
