I have a brand new Remington 700 cdl in 30-06 caliber.
I know about shooting the round that your rifle likes best, "dead is dead", and all of that, but what I guess I am looking for is what factory round (or load) is best so as not to destroy a lot of meat on the animal?
I would like to understand more about how the bullet works, grain size and power behind it as well as accuracy and penetration.
I would like something with some knock down power but that also won't blow apart the whole shoulder or neck with a misplaced shot?
So is it that the lighter bullet expands quicker and that causes it to do more damage, and the heavier bullet gets through the deer before it expands too much?
I am currently considering 150 and/or 165 Remington core lokt (among others)
Thank you all in advance
