thru the nearly 50 yrs of whitetail hunting in wisconsin i have reloaded several bullet weights for my 30-06 700 remington. the lightest was 150 grain and the heaviest being 220 grain. the 220's were loaded after i shot a deer one year and it ran off and i never found it.i was young and thought loading a bigger bullet would prevent that from ever happening again. never used many of the 220 gr even after loading up 100 of them and ended up giving them away last year with all the reloading equipment i sold. based on my experiences thru the years i would load 150 grain speer point bullets for any open range shooting of deer and 165 grain bullets for brush and woods hunting where shots are usually 100 yds or less.i hunt in state forest where most of my shots are 50 yds or less. i still have 150 30-06 rounds loaded that will last me till my hunting is finally done. they are 165 grain speer bullets #2035,cci 200 large rifle primers, 55 grains of imr 4350 powder, with a muzzle velosity of 2700 fps. without any more information than you have provided i would recommend 150-165 grain bullets in whatever name brand mfg of your choosing.there is no need to have any exotic tips or bullet configurations just a good ,sound,reliable round. one consideration is to decide on a brand or combination that will be available in your area in the future when you need to buy more.
