Loc: Hunting classic Indian game!

I've sort of inherited a Ruger M-77 30-06 from my dad, that I have been customizing for the past year.

I shot a nice Hawaiian boar on Mauna Kea with it about four years ago.

My brother took a really nice black bear with it last year, about a 6-6 1/2' boar about 350lbs or so. He stalked right up to it and killed with one 180 nosler partition at about 3 yards away

Big ol' boy was so busy eating salmon he never heard us.

I think the 180gr. bullet is the best compromise. I've heard great things on the 165gr for long distance shooting, but this rifle doesn't shoot the 165grs as well, so I stick with the 180s. I'm going to try the 200grs next. 30-06 will do comfortably most North American game. I'd like something bigger for brownies, and maybe something flatter shooting for sheep and the such, but other than that its a great choice. No problem on blackies at all.
